You can still find some amazing and exceptional deals here and on a few other online sites, but due to a mold-buying frenzy years ago between collectors and chalkware artists, the marketed supply has dwindled. Collectors are holding on to their treasured molds, while some continue to make good money using their molds to create chalkware and paper mache figurines.

If you love to design, create, paint, make money and be successful - this is a great opportunity to start your own business, be your own boss. Cast and paint your own little Santas to keep, give away as unique Christmas gifts, or sell at craft fairs or online. Each casting holds that special touch of history because of the mold used, yet the finished piece when painted and embellished, evolves with your own old-world, folk art, or Victorian spin.
