2012 Ornament Blog Hop

I have been making ornaments since Halloween! I found a box of glass ornaments at a garage sale. Brought them home and have actually rummaged through my own stash of Christmas decorations to make more. They are all polymer clay. I hope you enjoy my journey. I can't wait to see what all the other artists have made. I'll be posting everyone's links as soon as the list is distributed. Stay tuned...
I am busy making miniature ornaments for my mother's little tree that she displays in her bedroom. I'm having fun trying to stay within the "mini" aspect of this little project. The naked ornaments are 1" in diameter. They look dull because they have not been baked or finished. I am posting this today in preparation for the annual ornament blog hop that will begin December 4, also, my 60th birthday! Anyway my Dec. 4 post will share my entries in the blog hop and all the links of all the other artist's ornaments.
Head on over to see the rest of the festive decorations created by jewelry designers and bead makers. Happy Holidays!

  4. Wonderful ornaments. I have 1 polymer clay ornament that I bought at a craft fair. I like the one with a cover on top and part of the ornament showing best.

  5. Billi, I think your ornaments are beautiful... it's amazing how so many design elements can be developed from a very limited colour palette. Your Mum's tree is gonna be a STAR! Following your blog.
