Christmas is nearly upon us! I don't know about you but this year I am all about the handmade gift! I am getting sick of how Christmas is becoming all about buying people "stuff" that has no meaning whatsoever.
Recently I went to Michael's craft/art store and purchased these lovely little ornaments to decorate.
I painted the ornaments first with acrylic paint and then collaged images I cut out from my hand-painted papers. Next I added some details with payne's gray and white colored paint. I am going to try to finish some more today- I still need to loop a pretty ribbon through the top so I can hang them.

This one was inspired by some of Henri Matisse's paper cut- outs:

ReplyDeletethese are so sweet and creative! i wish i had a tree full of them! i guess i could decorate my tree with lanyards.....
ReplyDeleteIf someone breaks into your house and steals the handmade ornaments off your Christmas tree, I just want to make it perfectly clear, it's NOT ME. No matter how much I love them, I would never do that. What's your address, by the way?
