Kitten in Pastel Green and White Indent Ornament with Bell

5” tall, including dainty antique bumpy bell

SPECIAL FEATURES

This sweet little antique scrap kitten face was chosen to go with soft green and white vintage glass indent ornament.  I added curly antique metallic cording, and framed the kitty with Dresden paper trim and a touch of Champaign-colored antique chenille, plus soft mint-green tinsel garland and matching green bell with its original glass clapper.

Lovingly handcrafted and signed by Gail Giaimo

THIS ONE-OF-A-KIND ORNAMENT IS MADE ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY WITH ANTIQUE AND VINTAGE MATERIALS to include: glass ornaments from the 1890s to1950s, most of which were made in Germany; colorful Victorian embossed & die-cut paper “scraps” and chromolithographs from postcards and advertising trade cards, made in Europe between the 1870s and 1910; antique and vintage fabric to include chenille, lace, ribbon and metallic trims; antique and vintage tinsel from tree garlands and old-stock German-made Lametta tinsel; gold and silver old-stock Dresden paper trims, crepe paper, foil, gift wrap, spun glass, and other embellishments. Items described as “antique” are dated between 1870 and the early 1900s (prior to WWI). Items described as “vintage” are dated between 1915 (WWI) and the 1950s (mid-century). We also use Dresden trims (only on occasion) and crinkle wire (always used for durability) made more recently in Germany using techniques and equipment that have not changed over the past 150 years.
