we have a tradition that every year we go to target and each pick out a new ornament to add to our collection. this shot is of the lovely glass birds...partridges??? that i picked out this year, they are red and the glass is very delicate, i love them. the other ornament in the shot is the ornament my sister, valerie got for my son's first xmas :) it's this cute pig in a sweater with antlers :) so that makes the ornament 13 years old :) and you can catch a glimpse of my last years choice, the wooden red sled behind the pig.

our son has a thing for the mirror ball ornaments :) he's picked out a silver, a blue and a red one so far...i think the red one was his choice this year. i'll probably have more pictures later :) and jason chose the metal empire state building.

our extended family has been giving "handmade" lots of consideration this year and we felt like we didn't have enough time to hand make for everyone, but with that in mind, i may decide to try to pick our ornaments from the handmade wares on etsy next year :)

I do still currently have my Alphabetical Order piece on display at the Mulvane Art Museum through January 16, 2011. I am also going to enter it into the MyArtSpace Scope Miami 2010 Art Show happening at the same time as the Miami Art Basel which would be great publicity....and just great to show more work if accepted. I also need to get some more laced into the frame pieces of the "Domestic | Domesticated" series ready for sale/show. And I have a ton of wood blocks for caulk xerox transfers...still going to try la
