Featuring Jeanne Van Etten !
Jeanne says, “I made these little peeps out of earthenware clay. I painted them with colorful cloths and glazed it in my kiln. Voila! Happy friends for all occasions! They measure about 3-4 inches tall, and look good on cupcakes, tarts, and Birthday cakes. Put them at the dinner table to keep you company.

Only one of a kind in the whole wide world!”
