I was little bit nervous when I decided about doing this
challenge. It's called Ornament Blog Hop. I never make
holiday ornaments before. All of my family are Muslims, including me, and in our
Holidays we do not use ornaments to decorate the house. But, since we live in
United States, I have been invited to some Christmas dinner in our friend’s
house and that was wonderful experienced to me. I got a chance to see family
gathering on Christmas, I can saw their Christmas three with all beautiful
decorations and sparkling ornaments. I also got some present!! That was making
me surprised. I am not the part of the family, but still, my family (me, my husband
and my daughter) got a present for each of us with our name on it.
Here there are what I made for this Challenge. Please tell me if I didn't get it right on track for the Challenge.
I saw beautiful Holly Wreath on our Main Entrance in our apartment
building, so I decided to make one bead from polymer clay, that I am hoping
looks like Christmas Wreath.
We have lots of Pine tree outside our
apartment. So I decided to make this polymer clay bead with decorated pine tree.
My daughter loves making snowman, so I decided to make this
snowman beads. Well, I had lots of fun making ornaments. I already gave the
Holy Wreath ornament and the Snowman Head to my friends who celebrate
Christmas. And I wish u all have a very Merry Christmas.

Sooo cute Asri! Although you do not celebrate Christmas I can feel the fun you had by making these ornaments :0) Merry Christmas wishings for you too, from the other side of the world!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michi, I am going to make some more for my friend. And Merry Christmas.
Deletevery festive, love your tree
ReplyDeleteThanks...My tree is the one as a beads :-D. The festive tree belong to one of beautiful restaurant in South Bend Indiana
DeleteYour ornaments are very sweet- I especially like the wreath. Do Muslims do any kind of decorating for any holidays? Something like a window decoration might be fun.
ReplyDeleteWe do not decorate the house with something particular. In Muslim holiday, we usually giving away foods, visiting as many friends or family.
DeleteI work for Muslim fellows and the first year that Othman was my boss for Christmas, he was a bit like you, mystified by all the nuances and we had many conversations about the whole spirit of Christmas and the differences between what the holiday actually means and what the advertising and big businesses want to make of it. We talked about Rammadan and the idea of contemplating what wealth you have and comparing your own bounty with poorer people. The first year that he told me "Merry Christmas", I laughed right out loud. I said Othman, you are a Muslim and I am a pagan. Neither of us celebrates Christmas! But we were both caught up in the happy spirits of the people who come into the store.
ReplyDeleteAs a Muslim, you have taken the spiritual idea behind all the glitter and glam, the joy of giving and of giving joy to others. Your ornaments have the true essence of the Christmas spirit..........understanding, accepting, and showing love regardless of faith. Well done!
I am amazed with all decorations and lots of sale in big businesses during this season. And I guess because of I have met lots of very nice friends with lots of diversity I became an understanding person. That we can showing love regardless of faith
DeleteThank you for sharing your creative talents and participating in the blog hop Asri. I love that you were able to capture the joy of giving into your ornaments. They are festive and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks Heather. They were my very first ornament, and I am still beginner in Polymer clay so all of them still very simple designs.
DeleteLovely ornaments, the Snowman is my favourite :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you. The snowman head was my daughter idea ;-D
DeleteSimple but represent the spirit of Christmas its self =) I love to hear that you have a lot of different experiences in State.
