Baby Girl Mixed Media Ornament

The baby girl ornament I created was for a four month old named Olivia.  

2012 was year she was born and experienced her first Christmas. Again, I used mixed media; ephemera from an old Dick and Jane book, an O positioned in a charm for Olivia, rhinestones, glitter,  pretty papers, and more charms all for princess Olivia.

 

Blessings,

Ele

Mixed Media Baby Boy Ornament

I was asked last month to make a 2012 ornament for a little baby boy due in January 2013. I pulled out some of my favorite supplies and this is what I created:

 

 

There isn't a name yet, so BABY would have to do!

 

 

A story book puppy, and kitten, and hanging from blue and white gingham ribbons; a teddy bear, and toy car.  It says 2012. The year this little boy's mama felt him grow and kick. 

 

 

 

The final creation. 

I also made a girl ornament for this customer's granddaughter. Stay tuned as I reveal that to you next time!

 

Blessings,

Ele

Happy New Years and Two Birds of a Feather

I have learned that when someone says to me, "I just had to get this for you because it's soooo you," it's a good thing. Even better.....when they say, "oh, and this isn't your actual Christmas present." Score. I know, selfishly loving self indulgence.

I love my pre-Christmas present Christmas gift. I call them, Two Birds of a Feather, (they are actually Christmas ornaments). Check out their curly feathers, silver glitter beaks, and....

 beaded bellies.

I'm not packing these beautifies away with my other ornaments. They are perched on a nest with silver glittered eggs made by a friend. After all, curly fluffy taupe and blue birds with beaded bellies are perfect with real silver glittered eggs.

 

 

Happy New Years to all of you, and may you have happiness and love in 2013.
