Hand-Painted Christmas Ornaments

The OKC Modern Quilt Guild Christmas Party was this weekend and we all brought a handmade gift to exchange. In a group made up of serious sewists, I decided to do something different and paint some wooden ornaments.I was happy to discover that I had quite a few already partially base-coated. I then did a little calculating and determined that I started them 5 years ago. I wish I'd had more time to paint, but it was such a busy weekend I only had time to paint three. I still have about 2 dozen or more left....

Behind the scenes chaos.

FYI - These Jansjo lights from Ikea are fantastic. Seems like I'm always taking photos at night and they give off great light. I also use one for sewing, as it seems the light on my machine is never bright enough.Next weekend's project: Christmas 2012 Cake Balls
