  • REAL Talent by Marybeth Norlin-Sadlik

    REAL Talent

    From 1986, this is a Christmas ornament roughly 3 inches long. She was molded, fired and painted by a SUPER talented woman named Jeanette who through her openess about her craft taught ME how to paint like this. The student,however, was NEVER as good as the master as evidenced here. This statue/ornament is one of several that are SO incredibly lifelike that they - particularly this one - are my favorite ornaments on my Christmas tree.
