Beaded ornaments, 'Christmas Magic' (set of 6)
By Anita
Deep impact
They are so clean and compicated, beading is difficult, but you manage to give them an original twist. :)
Beaded ornaments, 'Purple Star' (set of 4)
By Frank
Absolutely Gorgeous
Seema, each year I look for stars for my Christmas tree. Those made with loving care in India are the best in the world. It is an old art yours, perhaps a dying art. I am privileged to have lived to see and own what is perhaps a dying art. They richly almost regally embroidered in the finest threads and the bead work is outstanding. I dont hang just any old thing on my Christmas tree, but yours are always a part of my Christmas trees. I put up several each year, not just one. Thank you! They are truly a work of art. I feel work of this kind once was part of the rajas and even the Maharajas of India, especially your purple stars. In Western culture purple was reserved in ancient times for royalty. Since the dye came from certain snails purple was a dye fit only for noblemen and royalty.
Cotton mobile, 'Elephant Dance in Blue'

Cheery and pretty
I bought this to hang on my doorknob (inside) so I can hear the door open and close...works great and looks pretty. The hanging loop is a little small for a standard doorknob as it was meant to be a mobile or wind chime to hang on a hook, so I just use a ribbon of my own, to tie it on the doorknob.
