Using most of the same materials I have also created globes within which I will suspend a focal element, either a miniature ornament or a bead. Like the previous chandelier ornaments, I can change the color of the beads on the arcs to either match the focal element or to help offset the element, thereby creating ornaments a wide range of colors using the same design. For the focal elements, I will look at the miniature ornaments available each year and pick-up several packages of them. I will also use teardrops, most of the time faux pearls because of their size.I can create several different sizes of globes. The larger being almost 6 inches across and 8 inches high, pretty large ornaments for most trees but fairly light compared to ornaments of the same size.

Lovely!! Are you using wire to get them to hold their shape?
ReplyDeleteI use hardened steel. Keeps its shape for the most part, comes in a variety of sizes and finishes.
DeleteLove your new blog! Looking forward to seeing more ornaments!
