Mexico = Ceramic Souvenirs

The children have gone to Mexico five times--well, the older three have; the younger two have only gone once. On the first trip to Mexico the twins were not even a year and a half old, so they did not bring home a ceramic figurine for a souvenir. Bentley and his dad painted a figurine together. On subsequent trips Bentley, Jake, and Viva painted a figurine each. (One year they painted two). The standard procedure is for the client to throw paint on the figurine--any color, anywhere they like. Black detail lines are then added by a ceramic artist before firing. (Viva told me she didn't want those black lines on hers, but I'm not the one she needed to tell, so the lines are on it.)

 Here are the newest additions (in the order of Bentley, Jake, Viva, Lincoln & Matt):
