A cute miniature scene
Another great piece
Mini Christmas Cardinal in this World Within
It does amaze me at times how much detail Hallmark can get
into their ornaments, especially their miniature ornaments. Even though 2017’s A World Within isn’t the
most detailed ornament, it is still impressive.
This miniature series features a scene inside another
design. This year, the outer ornament is
a pinecone. You can see and feel the bumps
on the outside of the pinecone on the sides and back and there’s some snow
sitting on top. However, the front, is
open to let us see the scene inside. In
this case, we get a cardinal sitting on the branch of an evergreen tree.
Now, if this were a regular sized ornament, I’m sure we’d
get a bit more to the scene inside. As
it is, this one is just the bird on the branch, although the end of the branch
is actually sticking outside the frame of the pinecone, which is a nice
touch. However, I’m not complaining
about them not including more detail behind the bird. I’ve mentioned this is a miniature ornament,
right? It’s barely an inch tall, so if
they included too much more detail, it would get cluttered.
Since this is a pinecone, there is no flat surface to set
this one out to enjoy. Instead, you’ll
have to hang it on your tree. When you
do that, you’ll find it hangs straight.
Since this is part of the A World Within series, you’ll find
the 3 in a Christmas tree marker on the back of the ornament. Yes, you might need a magnifying glass to see
it, but it is there.
It continues to amaze me that Hallmark can get what they do
in these A World Within ornaments. Pick
up the 2017 entry in the series and be amazed.
Enjoy the rest of the A World Within ornaments.
