small Nativity scene with spun glass

The Baby Jesus Nativity ornament is made from traditional materials; *PAPER SCRAP: The beautiful image is made from the scan of an antique card I found. Paper crafting was very popular in the early 1900's, and all ornaments were handmade at home. *EMBOSSED FOIL MEDALLIONS: On the front and the back. These are handmade in Germany on 150-year-old machines. While visiting there, I watched these beautiful foil papers being made by a third-generation producer. The Victorians used these same foil medallions in making their ornaments! *SPUN GLASS CIRCLE: This is made of super thin pieces of glass! They are super shiny and actually flexible because they are so thin. In the Mid Century, it was called Angel Hair and people put “clouds” of it on the mantle. There are very few people still handcrafting these. These ornaments are very LIGHTWEIGHT so, they can hang at the end of the branch where they can be seen! This ornament will make a beautiful addition to your Christmas tree and become part of your family’s special Holiday Tradition. The gift box provided will give you a safe place to store them from year to year. I also make special TREE TOPPERS in this shop. One is shown above in the last photo. I have 2 etsy shops!
