NEW! – Jolly Old Elf ’89 Ornament – JS037

This is a Santa you could display all year if you desired.  His gentle smile and twinkling eyes will bring memories of shared moments of Christmas.

This set includes blank ornament, color photos and instructions – patterns are etched on the surface for ease and to add dimension to the painting.  

Another wonderful outlet for our creative journey, each ornament is done out of mdf and laser cut with intricate detail.  The patterns are etched on the surface for ease of painting.  If you prefer to not use the etching, it can be painted over with Gesso or Texture paste and then the pattern can be applied – as you prefer.
