MOMENTOS ART AND ANTIQUES SPUN COTTON HOLIDAY DECORATIONS
The obscure art of creating spun cotton ornaments began as a 19th c. German cottage industry for the Christmas market. Santas, snow people, Halloween and Easter figures and animals take shape as Stacey meticulously paints the tiny faces which are sculpted from paper clay. Strips of cotton batting are wrapped and wrapped around an armature. Garments of cotton batting are stiffened with a secret concoction of glues and paint and the final touch of antique and vintage adornments complete the ornament.
