Blue Spun Cotton Snowman Ornament

Description

This adorable little snowman is ready to come to your home! He is approx. 4.25 inches tall and is ready to hang. He is holding a little hand made heart which is rimmed with glitter! Completely handmade original art with a vintage flare. Each piece is one of a kind!

Spun cotton is an art form that originated in 19th century Germany. Early spun cotton pieces were usually holiday ornaments that were hand made by wrapping cotton batting around a wire frame and then painting it.

I use cotton roving and a glue mixture which I spin around a wire armature. Each layer is allowed to dry before spinning another layer on. When that is complete and dry the painting comes next and the embellishments are added last.
