Christmas- Day 5



And here is the next one; another for my sister and yes Susan, you are right! It was the invitation. You may be able to see it a bit better in this ornament, cut up into strips and curled inside a glass ball. The blue color on this pic is more accurate as we took this photo outside in natural daylight.
I was really pleased with these two, and got the idea from a variety of sites. Take a look here-Glass Ball and here-Triangle Ball. I'm not sure where the ideas first originated, but they sure are beautiful--Thanks for the inspiration ladies!!

Christmas-Day 4


Whoops! Forgot to post this yesterday!

Continuing on in the ornament theme; here is the first of 2 ornaments that I made for my sister (Sorry about the poor pic; my photography team wasn't on their game with this shoot:-D ).
Some background info; She is getting married in, oh, about a week and a half, in a winter wonderland wedding. Her colors are white and icy blue with lots of sparkle :-D

Can you see what the ornament was made out of??

Christmas-Day 3


From Calendars back to Christmas ornaments;

Here is another little bauble I painted for a close friend. It is a porcelain ball and has a parade of puppies. There is a boxer, beagle, cocker spaniel, golden retriever and a little westie. (Sorry, the pic of the side with the little westie was under exposed and didn't turn out).
The ornament was painted in sepias and hunter green, finished off with a light mocha and golden bow for a bit of 'bling.'

One of the hardest things about painting on a sphere is how to hold it still! Tried two items that worked: an egg cup, which was okay but a little slippery, then used a cardboard egg carton, which worked great!
