The Kissing Ball

The Kissing Ball - I have become facinated by these very decorative ornaments lately.  A tradition handed down from the middle ages, they are thought to bring blessings to your home and fill it with love.  Also an ever present invitation to express affection to those who walk under it, it is somewhat like a year round mistle toe, but much prettier.

I made several by first hand crafting tiny paper flowers.  I then covered one of the foam balls with green mulberry paper torn into pieces and glued to the foam ball.  The other I covered in white mulberry paper and sprayed it with a fine irridescent glitter. I then secured each flower to a foam ball with corsage pins.  I was so excited about how they turned out.
