Shannon Whittle’s Clever Wire Ornament

Friday, December 4th, 2009

Ottawa artist, Shannon Whittle, has designed a light and airy one-of-a-kind wire ornament that is equally comfortable hanging from a yuletide branch as it is nesting snugly within the boughs of a Christmas tree.

The Design Process

The Design Process

Made from light-gauge wire, acrylic rod, and decorative beads, Shannon’s ornament exudes warmth, elegance, and a sprinkle of the industrial.  A spare and organic piece, the ornament will set imaginations afire and spark inspiration for years to come.

Baby Ornaments!

Preschooler Ornaments!

Now that our Hallowe’en costumes are packed away, visions of good deeds and unique Christmas ornaments are dancing through our heads.

We’re excited to announce our first-ever silent auction with proceeds going to support the Dalhousie Parents’ Daycare in central Ottawa.

Our fabulous designers, local artists, and Workshop staff are generously donating handmade, one-of-a-kind ornaments to the cause and for that, we are so grateful. A warm Workshop thank-you goes out to:

Adding to our stash of gorgeous ornaments is our crew of designers-to-be. Yes, the little ones from the Dalhousie Parents’ Daycare made ornaments too and we just can’t get over how cute they are!

Next week, we will be hanging the ornaments in the shop window so you can check out the amazing creations for yourself. The silent auction will go throughout November and will end a couple of weeks before Christmas so successful bidders can trim their trees in time for St. Nick’s arrival.

As a special treat for our blog readers, we’ll post photos of the ornaments online so you can check them out before you come down to bid on your favourites!
