Comes with two ornaments!
Here is the first in our new series of Bible story themed ornaments. 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.
Have you ever thought about Noah gathering up all those birds, animals, creepy creatures and bugs? I decided to leave out the snakes, ugh! But do put some in if you'd like and change any of the animals as you wish. This design was taken from our book "Brush of Whimsey". If you have that book 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.
