modern ornament adventure 2010 pt. 4
Woo hoo! It’s Christmas time! So here’s how my tree turned out this year. A fun little mix of new paper geometric shapes, combined with last year’s gray faceted sculptures, and the vintage-y gold starbursts and white spray painted ornaments that I’ve been using for the past few years… all pulled together with a quirky color palette of tones of oranges, mustard, muted pinks, and a shot of fluorescent neon yellow!
I’m really enjoying the color palette. I know it’s not for everyone, and it’s very different for me as I generally don’t go for these softer tones, but it still feels really festive and I can’t get enough of the neon yellow! It really set the tone for everything else in the house, including my dining table centerpiece and gift wrapping -which I’ll show you next! stay tuned!

LOL! thanks peaches! i think that’s the best compliment/analogy I’ve heard!
This is my new favorite blog! The aesthetic of your tree is PERFECT! I can’t get to the post of how you made those amazing geometric ornaments though. Would you be willing to fix that or email me the how-to? I’m in love with last year’s yarn branches too.
[...] Last year, I made folded paper polygons, but this year, I wanted to try something more asymmetrical (and solid?). At first I was considering using actual wood blocks. Unfortunately the reality is, I don’t have easy access to a large selection of small wood scraps, nor do I have a big table sander or saw. Then I remembered seeing these foam wood blocks and thought BINGO! I could just use a small blade (X-acto has a mini saw blade) and hack away! And that’s what I did. [...]
