This spun cotton ornament is inspired by a vintage technique for making Christmas decorations which were produced in Germany around the turn of the century in 1900. When I bought one from an early morning visit to Sunbury Antiques fair I was so inspired that I just had to have a go and make them for myself.
Individually hand made and by me in my garden studio. I adore the making and designing process and carry this out with love and attention to detail.
She can be tied to the top of the tree, hung or just nestled on a branch. If you are using her in an alternative way such as a table decoration, she will need to be balanced in such a way to stand up on her own or leant against something. She is not freestanding but her arms are bendable.
This individual piece " Pearl" is made from Spun Cotton Roving. a padded glass beaded heart body. The rest of her is embellished with recycled vintage lace, diamante pieces, trim, faux pearls, glass beads and a printed paper face.
Warning chocking hazard, this item is NOT A TOY and is intended for decorative purposes only.
