I am having the greatest week....creating new Holiday things....getting organized and packing up a lot of art for my art show this week.....I love being busy as a bee.....I love creating things that were created over 150 years ago...like these Vintage inspired Spun cotton dolls.....
I prop these up on glasses and things so they add a little touch of fun to a special vignette in any room....
Over 150 years ago in Germany cottage industries produced handmade ornaments spun from cotton. Each was unique. Later, the craft expanded to Occupied Japan and Russia. Today these ornaments are highly prized and collectible but little information is available about how they were made.
This is the way I think they were made...and I enjoy creating each piece.....My favorite part in the whole process...is the embellishing....I have all sorts of amazing fabrics and floral pieces that really make me happy.....
Happy Tuesday and Happy Creating Everyone....
Creative Every Day!!! art every day month....I participate and love this!!!

oooh, wow! LOVE all that sparkle!
Diana,
your ornaments are beautiful! How lovely that you are upholding an old craft.
These are so adorable, Diana! You should make some with little wires on the back, because I could see hanging them on the wall in a little girl's bedroom - wouldn't that be cute? Also, on a Christmas tree! Weeee! I'm with you in busy bee having fun mode. :) xox
