Adventures at Home and Abroad

Making Christmas ornaments seemed like a great idea at the time. Easy small gifts, not too time-consuming, colorful. And, if recipients hated them, they could re-gift or conveniently lose them. What I learned: making small things drives me crazy. These little things are FUSSY to make, and they take much longer than one would presume. I like how most of them turned out, however...ornaments are no longer on my list of things to do!

Piet Mondrian, re-imagined. The original: In progress... The final product. I used decorative soldering to give the flower's center some texture and color.
