Holiday Ornament Blog Hop 2011

Last year in a moment of panic when I realized I'd signed up for the ornament blog hop and had nothing made I gathered up bits and pieces that I no longer loved or didn't want to use...  This year I remembered my intention to particpate with 10 days to make my ornament (am I actually getting more organized?)

Even with 10 days I decided to use a similar method of assembling components...  I started with the art bead....  then came the little glass beads to compliment it....  Well the long and short of it ... the final ornament doesn't have a single component that was in the original pile...











My beaded bead was replaced with a slightly burnt enameled bead... My raindrop was remade in a colour that matched my beaded bead which I didn't use... and instead of using little flameworked beads I used small commercial triangular beads.... The original raindrops were made as a fund raiser for a local day care... 'raindrops of hope' so I thought using one in this years ornament was appropriate!











Then I hung it on the tree next to last years ornament and decided that they were much to similar...
