The front and back of the ornament.
This is the ornament I sent Jeanette.
I made the tag to send with it because of my obsession with tag making!
This was a fun swap. I love making ornaments and I've made most of the ornaments on our tree. For this one I beaded the three crystal beads and got to play with wire too! Two of my favorite things.

Oh...Jeannette's ornament is just gorgeous - right down to the most awesome hangar made of garland! I love the antique heirloom feel of this piece! Love that you gifted her one of your tags, too! And...there is nothing more satisfying than working with wire, is there! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful! I really like Jeanette's soldered pendant. and I love yours with the crystals and the swirled wire. Very cool! Great festive tag too :-)

Maryanne, I love the vintage style of the ornament that Jeanette made for you, her soldered pendants are always so beautiful. I also have to tell you at I love all the sparkle of the ornament you sent Jeanette and those coils are perfect. Now, ornaments aside, that tag you made is gorgeous!! I've tried distressing paper which didn't go very well, I may have to pick your brain about tag making!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for taking the time to participate in the hop. Have a very merry Christmas!
Both ornaments are so different from each other. I love the one you sent Jeanette, and your lovely handmade tag makes it even more special.
ReplyDeleteJeannette's ornament is such a feast for the eyes. I love that old fashioned look.
ReplyDeleteI love your ornament, and the tag so much. I would hang the tag on my tree as well! Great job!
You made a beautiful ornament for Miss Jeannette! I love the tag too! That wire coil is something extra special. And the little girl looks like she wants to sing "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" and will be a sweet addition to your tree! Enjoy the day! Erin
ReplyDeleteYour ornament is so unique...can you imagine a tree of these with lights catching all the sparkle and glow....someday I want to learn to solder... Your tag is so special too a beautiful little touch
ReplyDeleteBoth are lovely ornaments.. You'll have to pretend the one you got is some relative from the last century!
ReplyDeleteBoth of your ornaments are so beautiful, yours is so festive and fun and hers looks like a vintage ornament! Lucky both of you!
ReplyDeleteSo different and diverse but both beautiful in their own right. Lovely work.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the ornament that you made. I hadn't though of using coiled wire in an ornament. I have lots of new ideas now. Thanx. I too make ornaments every year. I also collect old pics so I like the ornament you got too.
ReplyDeleteThese are very creative and beautiful ornaments
ReplyDeleteI love the old fashion look of the ornament you received! I hate to say it, but my childhood pics are starting to look vintage ... pretty much like the rest of me! =)
ReplyDeleteAs for the crystal ornament you made? Love the contrast of the coils and the crystals. So very stunning!
Lovely! Your ornament will sparkle so in the tree lights! And Jeanette's is adorable! A real charmer!

ReplyDeleteThe ornament you made is so gorgeous! I love sparkly. The more sparkly, the better. And the tag you made is wow!
You all did such an awesome job! The ornament Jeannette sent makes me think of a Christmas moment trapped in time. She did a wonderful job crafting an ornament that could be hung almost year round! And the piece you created is lovely too! I love all the bling and bright colors! The wire embellishments gives it the look of being full of energy! Great job, ladies!
