Take a look at these beautiful hand blown glass ornaments with a Seussian swirl! Aren't they absolutely lovely? My son purchased both of these at a craft fair last November in Elizabeth, Illinois from a local artisan. They are marvelous.
Here is the first ornament. It has a swirl made up of 8 different colors divided by cobalt blue glass. It almost looks air brushed from far away...
Here is the second ornament. He surprised me with an early Christmas gift of this lovely ball. It is so cool. The colors are mixed with the same cobalt blue glass. It reminds me of an ornament out of one of Dr. Seuss's books! I just love it!!
The gentlemen that sold these told my son that if they should ever be damaged, he will gladly do repairs. How odd is that to hear nowadays? I try so hard not to be a part of the throw away society movement. It warms my heart to know that my son values the work of others and purchases gifts that are true heirlooms.
**Note** Farmerboy also picked up a hand painted ball ornament with an old Minneapolis Moline Z painted on it. The Artist said that she likes to pick an odd tractor here and there to grace her ornaments. She made my son very happy. :)
It amazes me how my kid can gift me with items that I haven't even thought of, and they are so perfect for me. This ornament is a true treasure. I was informed that the artist also creates ornaments in different shapes. I can see this as the beginning of an amazing collection!
