Christmas is… ornament swap
By spotogspindel | December 22, 2009
For the past few weeks I´ve been going to the mailbox with growing anticipation. I shipped my seven ornaments, and eagerly awaited the exotic handmade ornaments from the States.
This first one is from Michelle Allen, my dear, creative clockmaker-wizard. I just absolutely adore this whimsical snowman! She made a couple extra ones, and sells them on ETSY, if you´re interested. The snowman-magnet next to the ornament is painted by Jessica, her 11 year old daughter. How cool is that!? I mean, look at all the beautiful shadowing she´s done!
Karla Dornacher is Michelle´s Mom, and she made a snowman too. He is just so lovely, with little sticks as arms and glass-beads as buttons. Adorable!
Mystele Kirkeng made this cute little bell-bearer. This little creature is so sweet, with lovely details. She makes a lot of colorful stuff, lots of lovely paintings.
Deirdra Doan made these beautiful, wintery ornaments. I met her at Artfest too, and I am glad to call her my friend. She´s painted both the ice-princess and the nisse. In fact, she is writing a whole book about nisse. I am so looking forward to it being released!
April Sytsma-McCrumb made this funky little bug from recycled Christmas light-bulbs. So it is both a great ornament and it´s green! I just love the way his eyes are crossing, like he is slightly near-sighted 
These are all great and inspiring women, please visit their blogs. You´re bond to be inspired by all their ideas!
