NEW! – St. Nicholas Giver of Gifts Ornament – JS039

This special Santa, done as a contemporary expression of a traditional bride’s box style has been painted for the 1st Christmas of our 1st great grandchild, Ava Scarlet.  I hope it inspires you to paint a special gift for one of your beloved friends or family members.

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.
