Commonly known as "China Painting" or, in Europe, "Oil on Porcelain", painting with minerals is produced through a process developed in the seventh century, which Michelangelo described as the most difficult of the arts. Most visual artists want to control their painting every step of the way; the fired arts utilize the same rules as other art forms but, at each stage, the creations are given over to the firing process and the artist awaits the kiln’s results and adjusts the focus after each fire. The artist meticulously hand paints the design several times; each stage fired to approximately 760oC or 1400 degrees F.

Aren't these snow babies fun hanging in the Christmas tree?
