Handmade Lavender Ornament Polish Porcupine Ball Light Purple Paper Star Urchin Decoration by Kissa Design - Lavender, 4 inch

Lovely modern lavender purple paper star decoration based on a traditional Polish folk art ornament, handmade by Kissa Design in the Star Urchin studio, made in Michigan USA. As seen on the cover of the December 2019 issue of HGTV Magazine (in size 3 inch, see link below). This color would look great on a retro flocked tree, and would be a fun modern handcrafted decoration or gift for anyone who loves lavender. Place any Star Urchin on a horizontal surface and tuck business cards, inspirational photos, notes (Happy Birthday or Thank You!) or other favorite bits of paper ephemera into the spines to create a unique display... Decorate your dwelling with a 4-INCH Lavender Star Urchin ornament. See the link below for more lavender goodness.

Each Star Urchin ornament is packaged in a clear box for storage or gift giving and has a loop for hanging. This listing is for one 4-inch ornament. 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 Star Urchins for average-size Christmas trees.

From the artist:

Star Urchins are my modern interpretation of a Polish folk art decoration called a porcupine ball, 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. A retro decoration reimagined for the modern home.

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. Great to use for decoration anywhere you'd like an interesting conversation piece, or hang them on a Christmas tree with other special Christmas ornaments.
