Cheery and pretty

Product picture

I bought this to hang on my doorknob (inside) so I can hear the door open and close...works great and looks pretty. The hanging loop is a little small for a standard doorknob as it was meant to be a mobile or wind chime to hang on a hook, so I just use a ribbon of my own, to tie it on the doorknob.

Beautiful details - Great skill

So glad to see this set is available again. When it bought the set, it was the last one available. I kept one for myself and gave the other one to a friend. Dragonflies are very special. I have purchased many of these beaded ornaments from Santiago Atitlan Women's Group.

Absolutely Gorgeous

Product picture

Seema, each year I look for stars for my Christmas tree. Those made with loving care in India are the best in the world. It is an old art yours, perhaps a dying art. I am privileged to have lived to see and own what is perhaps a dying art. They richly almost regally embroidered in the finest threads and the bead work is outstanding. I don't hang just any old thing on my Christmas tree, but yours are always a part of my Christmas trees. I put up several each year, not just one. Thank you! They are truly a work of art. I feel work of this kind once was part of the rajas and even the Maharajas of India, especially your purple stars. In Western culture purple was reserved in ancient times for royalty. Since the dye came from certain snails purple was a dye fit only for noblemen and royalty.
