Not happy with this at all, but I haven't time to create one I do love. This is made with circles of patterned paper cut to almost the centre in 8 even segments, then the points are curled around a pencil and touched with a spot of glue. This paper is gorgeous it is florentine paper bought last year on our trip to Italy and I wish this ornament looked as good as I saw it in my head.

This is gorgeous! It may not be what you set out to do, which may be the problem - you've just got to change your mindset and appreciate it for what it is, not what it didn't quite turn out to be!

I don't think it's ugly at all!! I love it, it's like something you would find in a really cool art gallery. Kind of like a Chihuly glass sculpture. Awesome!

Oh, I'm sorry you feel dissatisfied with this. I think it's beautiful, and it's obvious that it took some time to make it. We are so hard on ourselves. Hopefully you learn to love it after a little while. I think it is very unique and special. :>)

Sometimes we don't wind up with what we pictured in our heads, but I cerainly wouldn't be disappointed with this ornament. It caught my eye in the gallery, and I really like it. Don't be so hard on yourself.

The paper on this ornament is awesome. I don't think you should beat yourself up on this as I think it is exquisite and will show up gorgeous on a tree because of it's colors. This is a great ornament!
