This little gator i purchased was an unfinished white ceramic piece..I saw this and figured it would make cute piece for florida gator football fans.i went to craft store bought some gator colors.blue,orange,,and also some white and black paints.I decided to do a floral arrangement to match the gators colors.Afer all the painting is done and before doing floral arrangement spray the piece with poly protectant to keep the surface looking great…it was fun cool project that i did several of these and gave to gator fans,and also for retail purposes.So if you have a gator fan use this picture of mine and do one,its not to difficult,just find your own little plain gator and brighten him up..
