Christmas Advent Calendar Blocks By Janice K. Wallace

Christmas approaches beautifully with these hand-painted blocks that count down the days until the big morning!

 

These amazing blocks were handmade and hand painted by the amazing Janice K. Wallace of St. Louis, MO. (more on her in a later post) Janice is an abundantly talented and prolific artist.  She surprised us last Christmas with this incredible set of birch blocks.




 

Each block has a different theme on each of its six sides.  Letters, dates, hand-painted snowflakes, a pine tree stencil, fabric patterns, wood grain and that awesome silver circle design!  I can never decide which side I like best. 
 







The woodgrain is exposed on one side and the rings are selectively painted, then covered with a layer of polyurethane.


She also painted these dainty little snowflakes on one side of each block.
