The lovely - and extremely multi- talented - Sally Russick of
The Studio Sublime is hosting this very festive blog hop. I was so lucky to finally meet Sally at ArtBliss this past September - she is truly a sweet lady and I am convinced that there is not an art medium out there that she CANNOT do---and do well!
Sally has paired the participants with a parnter, and each person creates a handmade ornament, to include an art bead. I was paired with lamp work bead maker
Pam Ferrari. I LOVE lampwork beads - LOVE them. (Here is a link to Pam's wonderful
Etsy shop!) These are the beauties that Pam sent me.
 |
| Pam not only wrapped her ornaments and sent a card, she gifted me these fantastic lampwork beads! |
 |
| Look at these trio of Christmas beauties! Aren't they fantastic! |
 |
| The cutest little snowman EVER! If you read my previous post, I am obsessed with Snowmen and have quite a few scatter about my house! |
 |
| I love this angel - look at her wings!! And her halo! So sweet! |
 |
| What is Christmas without a tree?? Look at the swirls in the green glass - and the bright ornaments! I love this tree! |
 |
| Here is a picture of the Snowman in situ - I bought the handmade ornament hook from Mallory Hoffman (Rosebud101 on Etsy). |
 |
| This could be my favorite picture - one of my little handmade Snowbabies staring at the tree... |
 |
| Not the best lighting for this picture as it is 5:00 AM on Friday morning as I write this, but I have hung Pam's handmade ornaments on my "special tree" in my hallway. Each ornament is either handmade or given to me through the years. |
Many thanks to Pam for such beautiful ornaments! And a special thank you to Sally for hosting this very special blog hop!
Please be sure to visit all of the participants and have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!
