Full Moon Ornament, Man in the Moon, Vintage Inspired Spun Cotton

Spun cotton is an old world method of creating ornaments and figures. It began as a homemade craft in 19th century Germany, when local artisans would mold or wrap cotton batting into shapes (often fruits, vegetables, and holiday figures) and adorn them with sparkly mica chips or glass glitter. These old world techniques haven’t changed, and artists today are still creating handmade objects using the same traditional methods.

All of my spun cotton ornaments are made simply and traditionally with wire, cotton, corn starch, water, paint, and authentic embellishments such as mica flakes and German glass glitter.
