Ornaments Anyone?

I've been in somewhat of a creative funk for the past few weeks. I'm sure you all have had periods of time where you just couldn't get into the artsty swing of things. Well, this morning I work up bright eyed a bushy tailed at 6:15, went into my studio and started to create! The funk has been broken! Perhaps it had something to do with the time change? I had chipboard stars and decided to turn them into ornaments......It's hard to tell in the photos but the bears and snowflakes are covered in a beautiful ultra fine glitter. I had a piece of sheet music from 1919 and the title of the song was "Romance" so I tore it off to use on this ornament as it just seemed to be perfect. The bears are raised off of the star by about 1/4 of an inch.

This little guy is holding a shiny silver bell, ringing in the holiday season. He is also raised off of the star by 1/4 of an inch. A Scrabble tile and piece of vintage lace round out the ornament.

Hark the Winter Angel Sings! I tied in the basket of lillies she's carrying into the theme. Sewn to the vintage lace are 2 bisque calla lillies and a teal colored pearl all lightly dusted with ultra sepia glitter. The star has also been covered with the glitter.

Now you know I couldn't create ornaments without sticking a bird in somewhere! This one was created on an old CD for the base.

Rememeber the mini CDs that never quite took off? Well I found one and turned it into a little ornie. These three bears remind me of "Three's Company".....come and knock on our door.......we've been waiting for you. I'm going to name them Jack, Krissy and Janet.

My best crafting friend, Tracey says that I have a "kitchy" side to my art and she's right! I like to get whimsical from time to time so here are 2 in that category.....

You know, they always have "sister" and "friend" ornaments but what about a "cousins" ornaments? We all have a favorite cousin, right?
