It has been my tradition
each Christmas to give a specially chosen ornament to each of my two Working through a magnifying light, I use tiny brushes to ensure that each hand-painted image has as much detail as possible. Sometimes, the tiniest stroke has the biggest impact. When Mark received the ornament of his castle/home, he exclaimed, “She even painted the garage door opener!” While I was unaware of the identity of the dark spot on the photo, I decided it was important enough to include. I guess it was. YOUR HOME
Your home is your castle and even if it isn’t as elaborate as Mark’s home,
which is fashioned after a European castle, it is special and important to
you. Let me paint it for you on either a flattened or completely
spherical glass ornament. Attractively gift-boxed, it is suitable to
present as a gift or for convenient storage.
A LOVED ONE A picture is worth a thousand words, but a hand-painted image on a glass ornament of that special someone will last a lifetime. Immortalize a child, a mom, a dad, a grandparent, or even an adult as a child in days gone by. I can even sprout wings on your little “angel”. Perhaps you have a pet that adds life and laughter to your days. This special family member could become a hand-painted image on a glass ornament. You could choose to have it decorated to denote a particular season, or design it to be displayed all year round.
A COMMEMORATIVE BUILDING Oftentimes people hold a particular attachment to a building: the church in which a marriage took place; an historic building which has been torn down to make way for modern development; an historic building which is being refurbished, such as the Frederick Banting Homestead in Alliston, Ontario, the image you see here. You may have a building that is especially endearing to you. A hand-painted image on a glass ornament is one way to create a timeless memorial for you.

yourself, or presenting as a gift, a unique, one-of-a-kind treasure that
will never be exactly duplicated. The following is a list of available

Although the term “ornament” implies a decoration that adorns the boughs of your Christmas tree during the Yuletide season, it is possible to design an image that is non-seasonal, so that your treasure can be displayed throughout the entire year. Your personal input will determine the theme surrounding your chosen image and all you need do is decide where and how to safely and attractively display your ornament.

daughters, Tina and Danielle, and I’ve been doing this since they were
quite young. At first, they were purchased from a store, but then I
decided to create my own so I could incorporate a personal inscription as
part of the gift. Eventually,
