Darlings, as the leaves turn and the air crisps with promise, my studio transforms into a hushed haven of holiday wonder. For me, October isn’t just a month—it’s the sacred prelude to art season, when I alone wield the brush to birth my Hand-Painted Bubble Ornaments. These aren’t fleeting trinkets; they’re heirlooms, destined to dangle on family trees for generations, whispering stories of joy long after the tinsel fades.
What sets these apart? True artistry, poured from my soul onto iridescent glass. I use only professional-grade art paints—no craft shortcuts here—layering them meticulously, sometimes five or six deep, to coax out that luminous depth and jewel-toned vibrancy. Reds that glow like embers, golds that catch the firelight, greens that evoke evergreen secrets… this year’s theme is a nod to timeless classics, evoking the warm, nostalgic elegance of Christmases past. Each pup—Yorkies with their sassy bows, Maltese with their snowy elegance—comes alive under my hand, a Kiki Hamann original that turns your tree into a living gallery.
And oh, the collectors! Year after year, they return, curating full sets like cherished albums. “I can’t stop at one,” they confess, and who could blame them? These bubbles aren’t just ornaments; they’re collectibles, limited to my October alchemy—painted once, treasured forever. At $125 each, they’re an investment in whimsy that outshines any big-box bauble, especially when bundled: our recent Facebook progressive sale offered 50% off for four or more, vanishing into happy homes (shoutout to Betty’s dozen-strong fleet and Heather’s octet of sparkle!).
