handmade solar eclipse christmas ornamenthandmade solar eclipse christmas ornament

…it made such a big impression on me, I’ve been thinking about it ever since. Every year I like to add new ornaments to my tree at Christmas celebrating special places or experiences, so I started thinking about how I wanted to represent the eclipse…this is what I came up with in the end. Hand-embroidery, needleturn appliqué, and beading on reclaimed fabric; the hanger is two different yarns that I twined together — the color of the sky in totality, plus a little sparkle 😉
