2022 Ornaments … finally!

For Christmas 2022 I had to give out IOUs for ornaments … finished these a few days before Christmas 2023. Whew!

Hollow globes are Maple with Holly icicles, hangers and caps. Textured and airbrushed, acrylic and metallic paints. All are a little different (shape, design, or colors) but use the same techniques chosen for that particular year. And as usual, articulated joints that I’ve been using for more than 25 years.
I knew these were yours the minute I saw them. Great looking ornaments. What is the base paint? I somehow missed these when first posted.

Thanks, William. If I remember correctly, it was Titanium White acrylic that was airbrushed on as a base for the other colors. The flat spots were painted with a rubber brayer since my brushing skills around the edges isn't very good anymore.:(
