Ongoing Christmas Ornament Swap Discussion and Gallery

I finished @Cindy’s ornament and have it ready to go out tomorrow! Woot! Here’s hoping the mail gods are kind and the package arrives quickly and safely. International shipping is always such a toss of the dice.

I received two gorgeous ornaments from @photojenn yesterday. They are both made from her handwovens that I love so much!



The one above is a little stuffed bauble. The colors are so rich and vibrant, and are different on the front and the back.

Then there is this beautiful blue-tones hoop, with a sweet little crocheted snowflake attached.

They are both so wonderful; I can’t wait to put up my tree so I can hang them!

Received a cute gnome/snowman hybrid from @Juju today. Isn’t it so cute? I love it!

I have lots of snowflake decorations for my tree; this one is going to fit right in. Thanks so much, @Juju!

Decided on my next ornament, for @Cindy , & gathering supplies today, will be crafting evenings this week while i stay inside avoiding wildfire smoke for the 5th week in a row! (No fire threat, thank goodness, the Bolt Creek fire is up in the mountains - but the weather pattern has been sending the smoke from it & other nearby fires right down into our area for the last month +)

Yes, the wings were originally a colored pencil tin. I bought it, empty and dented, for a quarter at my local creative reuse store. Everything else is from various beverage cans. (Stella ARTois, Peace Tea, etc.)
