In our new Fairy Tales and Nursery Rhymes ornament series we're bringing some of our favorite designs from Jo Sonja's treasury of whimsical design. As with our other ornament series, we're going to continue to add both historical and new designs to this series.
Another wonderful outlet for our creative journey, each ornament is done out of mdf and laser cut with intricate detail. The patterns are etched on the surface for ease of painting. If you prefer to not use the etching, it can be painted over with Gesso or Texture paste and then the pattern can be applied - as you prefer.
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. All the King’s horses and all the King’s men couldn’t put Humpty together again. Capture the delightful egghead as he sits upon the wall in his “Sunday Best.” Please let your heart sing as you paint this piece and may it bring you a fun painting experience. First taught as a convention special event class- it is now available as an online class - Humpty Dumpty. If you have that class and digital packet already then you have the instruction for painting this design and can just purchase the blank. If you need the instruction for this design then there is an option listed below that is available for that as well.
