Painted Christmas Ornaments
For Christmas or just to hang for decoration
One of a kind, hand painted Christmas ornaments are a favorite thing for me to make during the Holidays. I have made hundreds in the past years... from personal ones to general Christmas scenes.
My first ornament was an old silver one that lost it's luster, so I painted it...as it turned out, someone saw it and wanted to buy it from me. I then started to bring them along to art's and craft shows.
My ornaments are hanging on Christmas trees in many parts of the world.
They are a sorted variety with the images going all the way around the bulb.
A Winter scene all the way around
Winter Sleigh
This particular ornament was made for a show. It sold the minute I put it out...many buyers like sleigh scenes including all the extra things I paint on them. They always ask me, how can you get so much on a small bulb? I tell them, I just do it!
Mountain Biking
Avid Mountain Bikers
A gift to my daughter and her husband, both had been avid bikers - participating in mountain biking and racing.
Up till then, I have never painted that motif. I was happy with the end result...as were they.
So you can see, any sport can be featured!

Madison Wi. Capitol 2013
In 2013 I decided to participate painting an ornament for our Capitol in Madison WI. The theme was to represent past or present events at Christmas time...
My ornament is about the past, featuring a two horse drawn sleigh with a grown person and a child waving a W-flag...they are delivering a Tree to the capitol.
I added many little things on there to make it appealing to the eye, and for the imagination of what was happening in the scene .... It was fun to paint.
Entry of the painted Ornament
Horse with glitter
Using Cardboard -
This was my first handmade Horse, cut out of cardboard, painted with acrylic and glitter attached with a gold string.
I have also used decoupage, then sealed with a glaze or crackle for an interesting ages affect.
Second cardboard Horse
A second design
The second Horse creation, also done on Cardboard...these were made for my Horse Themed Christmas Tree, added to the over 250+ in my collection.
A cardboard Santa
Old style Santa’s
Both sides are painted making them look like an old type Santa. The cardboard works well for this, as it's lightweight and makes great gift tags as well.
Teddy Bears
Old fashion Style
Of course you can't forget the Teddy Bear...I had always liked this theme, especially with a stick horse or rocking horse.
