Gorgeous goldtone modern Polish star paper folk art Christmas holiday ornament, handcrafted by independent artisan Kissa Design in Michigan, USA. As seen on the cover of the December 2019 issue of HGTV Magazine (in this size). Decorate your divine dwelling for the holidays and beyond with a 3 INCH Luminous Gold Star Urchin ornament, based on a traditional European paper craft, and handmade using a lovely lightly textured gold colored paper with a character and natural glow much like gold leaf beneath glass. Create a soft luminescent accent of color among other ornaments on a Christmas tree or use as part of a year round tabletop display in a pretty bowl or glass cylinder. Also available in size 4-inch; see link below.

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 3-inch ornament. I recommend 3-inch and 4-inch Star Urchins for average-size Christmas trees.

Paper made in the USA.

Ships via USPS.

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 thistles 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. Great to use as a decoration anywhere you want to add an interesting conversation piece, or hang them on a Christmas tree to create depth of color among your other special Christmas ornaments.
