Needlepoint Ornaments to Match

I have a wonderful customer , that sends me a Christopher Radko glass ornament
every year and has me paint a matching needlepoint ornament .....
this is a challenge, because the ornament is three dimensional and shiny....
so I try to come as close as i can to the ornament itself, in size , shape and color
she gives these as a gift...the ornament and the needlepoint...a very unique
gift...I am a big fan or Radko ornaments and have bought several since I started to do these for this customer...lol...
FYI...I just have the ornaments , not the matching needlepoint...let's me real...lol

Both of my daughters collect Radko's - a yearly ritual to go shopping for one each. I will not tell them about this, since neither of them does needlepoint. These are wonderful that you've done!

I really like your interpretation of these, they really capture the whimsy of the Radko ornaments.

Keep Stitching,
