holiday | 2011 ornament swap

This year, for the first time, I participated in the 2011 Freshly Blended Ornament Swap. I created 10 ornaments out of recycled t-shirts and mailed them to Australia, England, Iceland and across the United States. Here is the tutorial that I used from the Craftaholics Anonymous blog. Once I receive the 10 ornaments that get mailed to me, I will post pictures.

I took a glass blowing workshop at Lillstreet Art Center. In just a few hours I was able to make these colorful little ornaments.
