Holiday Art



One of my ceramic angels when I was looking for Christmas items that resembled me. Since I couldn't find them I created them myself. You gotta do what you gotta do.
LOL

I’m always thinking of new ways to create art. The holidays are always a good time to create different things to keep or give away as gifts. I had been saving some wine bottles to create stylish vases. One bottle I was going to create an angel, it was from a bottle of Italian wine, and its shape is that hour glass figure like a woman. Add wings during the holidays and if they aren’t very Christmassy you can leave the bottle out all year round. Of course art doesn’t have to be seasonal. I have a hand carved black Santa that is visible all year long as are my angel ornaments that hang over the fire place. I have other ornaments that I place in a large vase and they can be seen all year round.

So back to the wine bottle. I removed the label and since the bottle is clear, I decorated it with several red and silver snow flakes. Since the bottle has a screw cap I filled It with M & M’s and it makes for a very colorful and cheerful display. It could also make a great gift for someone that likes M & M’s.
