This Christmas ornament that features a family of four is the perfect gift for those with two children! This also makes a great gift for someone who collects ornaments each year that represent important milestones in their life. The ornament comes ready to hang with a metal hook. It would look great hanging on the Christmas tree or displayed on an ornament hanger all year round (ornament stands are available as an add-on). The copper finish is great for the couple celebrating their 7 year wedding anniversary! Bronze is perfect for those celebrating 8 years and aluminum is for ten years of marriage.
HOW I MADE IT: I sculpted the original design out of clay. Then I made a mold of the original sculptured ornament. Finally, I cold cast the copper and finished it with a black wax. I use real metal powder bonded with resin to create the ornament casting. Because it is cold-casted, the ornament is lighter than a solid metal piece which makes it ideal for hanging on a tree.
Ornament display stands like the one in the sample photos are available for purchase.
ABOUT MY DESIGNS: I create Family Christmas Ornaments, Anniversary Plaques and Sculptures all inspired by life, love, and mostly family! One key feature of my family designs is all the figures are connected and become one. I was greatly inspired by the idea of when a couple gets married, two become one. When I began to add children to my designs I continued the theme of connectedness by creating the children around the parents all emerging together.
This 2023 family Christmas ornament is about 5" long. Because each Christmas ornament is handmade, there may be slight variations compared to the one photographed.
(Due to the different monitor settings, actual colors my vary.)
