All lovely ornaments and how special when they're made by a loved one. Particularly like the gladiolus one - but then I'm partial to flowers.
ReplyDeleteWhat talent you have in your family. Those are lovely ornaments.
ReplyDeleteOne year, 1991 to be exact, every time I used an egg I blew it out. I collected 5 dozen or more. Then daughters and I ages 10 and 5 painted them. None were of the caliber you have there but I still have them and hang them on a special tree. I share this by way of asking have you ever painted on an egg?
They are all lovely and I am sure, evoke many memories of the past for you and your family.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty . . .
ReplyDeleteAwesome work since it is so small.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ornaments..I think the flower ones are my favorites..especially the Gladiolus..or Gladioli whatever:)
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful, and what a great tradition.
ReplyDeleteAnd not just a miniature, but a miniature on a curved surface. It's great.
