Ornamental

9″ x 12″ Mixed media collage on paper

“Ornamental” or, something pretty to look at! Created with acrylic, alcohol ink, gel pens, magazine clippings, stencils, and pens.

Never before have I started decorating for Christmas before Thanksgiving, but since 2020 is far from normal, this year is an exception.

We hung lights all around the front of the house last week which meant that my husband had to get up on a ladder, which always makes me nervous. My job was to hold the ladder, but when I had to reach for the hammer for just one second, yep, he fell! About 5 feet, onto a couple of old but sturdy wooden chairs, ouch! Luckily no major injuries, just some scrapes and bruises, body and ego!πŸ˜‰

Stay creative, enjoy the season, and most of all, be safe my friends! πŸ˜‰πŸ™πŸŽ„πŸŽ¨

    This is so beautifully constructed dear Tiffany. I love the bulbs that literally jump out with a three D appearance. Gorgeous.
    I hope your husband is really ok. I am a nervous ninny my mom use to say and she was right. I also hold the ladder and sometimes I just say no when he gets up so high to clean gutters or something. Men want to do these things. So glad he is ok. Love y’all πŸ˜˜πŸ€—πŸ’•β€οΈπŸ§šβ€β™€οΈπŸ§šπŸ»

        I am thank you my friend. Yes the guys like their tools. I haven’t ever been interested in climbing up any ladders and he would put his foot down as that would be a no no for me.
        Stay safe and take great care of each other. Love y’all β€οΈπŸ’•Joni
