I made this candy dish using a clay pot and saucer and some wooden
balls. I glazed the inside with blue enamelware glaze and fired in my
kiln so it is food safe. I painted the pot, saucer, and balls with navy
blue acrylic and then added dragongflies and flowers. There is also a
dragonfly on the knob on top, but I couldn't get a good picture. The knobs
are also painted with a white pearl over top the navy. Added a silver
painted band at the lid and there you have my candy dish.

I made these with small clay pots using wooden beads for the heads. Their hats are the fingertips of a glove and the scarves are tiny pieces of the same glove. I added wings to make them snowangels.
