Black
Ash Ornaments
I have been weaving ornaments almost as long as the baskets. In many instances, I use the pieces that I cut off from the top of a basket during the construction of it. All of the ornaments on this page are of my own design EXCEPT the North Country Star, which is a traditional design and remains quite popular with my customers. Some of the ornaments are of a regular ornament size and many others are miniature, usually 2" or less in size. The miniatures make great ornaments for space-saving Christmas trees, can be easily sent through the mail, or applied as an accent to giftwrapping. |
