So of course I saw a blog hop and HAD to join in. Blog hops are like candy...I can't stop myself! Anyway, for my ornament I employed the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) method again because it IS the holiday season and I'm pretty busy. Here's what I made...
I used one of my own handmade brown stoneware leaf pendants and paired it with a copper spacer and large Swarovski crystal wrapped with Vintaj bronze wire.
I had thought about going for a more Christmas-y ornament but in the end I really liked this earthy pendant and how it looked next to the tree.
A big thanks to Heather for hosting this fun blog hop!
And here is the list of everyone participating! Enjoy!

Your clay ornament looks lovely on the tree! My glass ornaments were impossible to photograph on the tree!

Simple is good! I really like how your ornament stands out against the tree. The clay is lovely.

Earthy-ness of the ornament is wonderful! Your stonework/clay is beautiful! I love how the leaves look like they are in an embrace! Perfect!

What a beautiful pendant you made! There is nothing wrong with the KISS theory- I have a few small stoneware ornaments that my parents bought me on travels, and I just love them on my tree!! You will enjoy this for years to come!

So pretty! I love the rustic look. To spice it up a bit I might add a few red berry beads to the top. This is beautiful. Enjoy the day.
