Beginning with an unveiling ceremony on Friday, November 28, the Indiana State Museum will house a 92-county ornament tree.
The tree will feature an ornament made by an artist from each of the 92 counties, made with the intention of representing each unique area.
And my mom was chosen to design the ornament representing Hendricks County.
I'm more than a little proud. (I promise I'll get photos of the event and make that a future post.)
In the meantime, you get a sneak preview of her ornament. She finished it on Sunday evening and mailed it -- early -- to the Museum.
It's two-sided, created using fabric, crystals and tulle netting. The front side is a winter landscape scene, common to Hendricks County.
The back is a pineapple quilt block, which is a traditional symbol of welcome.
I especially love the landscape scene, particularly the snow-covered pine trees on the left side. Dad and Chase love the birch trees on the right.When the holidays are over, the ornament will become a permanent part of the Museum.
It's beautiful. I can't wait to see it hanging on the tree.
Camera: Canon 40D with external E-TTL flash, 1/250s, f/5.6 at ISO 100 under fluorescent lighting, with the flash bounced off the ceiling.
