Ornament Blog Hop

Our family tradition growing up was that my brother and I would get to pick out one special ornament each year to add to the tree.  Over the years we would know which ones were "ours" and it made the Christmas tree special.  

 I am hoping to make some special ornaments this year for friends and family.  This cardinal was made using polymer clay. I made it for an ornament swap because my swap partner loves cardinals.

I used wire loops and attached the head and tail using a wire for hanging evenly. 

Thanks for stopping by!!

    Beautiful Cory. My Mom was a big fan of watching the cardinals at her birdfeeder so I have a soft spot in my heart for them.

    We have a similar tradition, every year we buy or make a special, new ornament. It's incredible how you forget so many things, but you always remember what year is which ornament from! Your partner is very lucky - the cardinal is gorgeous!
