Holly and Mistletoe WIPs

Inspired by the winter solstice and season of Yule, these hanging ornaments are hand-made with copper metal wire work, gemstones and glass beads. The designs follow the familiar contours of holly and mistletoe leaves, adorned with red and white berries. Together they celebrate the heart of winter time when the earth is cold and still, where two evergreen species flourish laden with berries. They are ‘heirloom pieces’, with quality and longevity in mind, to pass onto loved ones for years to come.
