Icicle Ornaments

These are a few of the items I made for my mother for Christmas. Mom is one the few people I know who are not caught up in having to have "such'and'such" for Christmas and probably feels close to what I feel about the commercialness of Christmas. So I try to make her presents, the sad thing is I don't always get them done on time. I still have one item to complete from last year. It is a candle screen. But it will be well worth the wait because it is covered in french beaded flowers.

So this year she received these beaded icicles, a beaded Christmas ball, a handmade journal like the one in the next post, original art notecards, postcards and stationary and three framed original art pieces. I love my Mom.
