Kissa Design Handmade Linen White 4 inch paper Polish star Christmas ornament, handcrafted in Michigan USA by an independent artisan. As seen on Food52.com and in many publications, and was selected as one of the 14 Best Modern Christmas Ornaments by the Wall Street Journal! Display this unique and modern, bright white decoration in your dwelling during the holiday season and throughout the rest of the year. This Linen White Star Urchin ornament is based on a traditional Polish folk art craft, and is handmade using a beautiful bright white paper that has a subtle texture like freshly ironed linen. Great to use for decoration anywhere you'd like an interesting conversation piece, or hang some on a Christmas tree with your other special ornaments.
This listing is for ONE 4 INCH ornament. Additional quantities may be available. Each ornament is packaged in a clear box for storage or gift giving and has a loop for hanging. Add a personalized message to your ornament during checkout (see listing photo for example). Select the gift wrapping option to also include a handwritten note with your gift, as well as a festive bow on the ornament box. I recommend 3-inch and 4-inch ornaments for average-size Christmas trees.

From the artist:
Star Urchins are my modern interpretation of a Polish folk art decoration, a style of ornament making that dates back beyond a hundred years. To me, they look like stars or sea urchins, so I call them Star Urchins, but their spiky form has been likened to dahlias and fireworks, too.
I make each Star Urchin completely by hand, and each of mine has 80 hand-formed points. My family has been making them for over half a century and my many years of practice produces a very neat ornament. They are delicate and celestial, take patience and a little while to make.
