Time Travel Steampunk Paper Mache Christmas Holiday saving Ornament/ Artist: C. Lickona

Each year saving when I sit down to create my ornaments, it is almost like being a couture designer; one color suggesting another color and inspiring the trims and beading. And this years collection was all about color and images, past and present that pop into my collective viewpoint

I introduced these cube shaped ornaments into my shop last year and love them because each side is a tiny canvas on its own. This square ornament is all about memories of time traveled. Topped with a compass, each side has some reference to travel, distance, family and friend connection from another era.

Each ornament is paper mache. It begins as a kraft brown (think paper bag) and is transformed into what you see here; days of work from beginning to its unique finish as each step requires drying and layering, pinning and gluing. Each bead and embellishment is delicately hand pinned and glued into place.

It measures approximately 2" all around, with some of the additional ornamentation adding some dimension. It is suspended from delicate chains from each corner to give it extra spin and movement.

If you would like to enjoy your small piece of art all year, I have a few pieces of curved stands that are sold separately in my shop (see photo). www.etsy.com/your/shops/ElegantOrnament/tools/listings/create

Decorate and celebrate all year long!!!!....I don't think of my ornaments only as holiday decorations, though, of course, that is spectacular. To me they are small pieces of art, accenting your decor all year long.

Each ornament comes with a square Kraft gift box to share, or to store. Handle it as you would anything precious, remembering that they are indeed paper. For indoor use only.

Each ornament is signed. Handmade in Hudson,NY.
Please forgive my added watermarks as someone has been stealing my listings to sell on a Scam website!!! Beware, as my ornaments are only sold on-line here on Etsy.
