Sweet Liberty Memories... Here we have my new primitive Drum ornament. So old and worn looking, with lots of detail and special touches. The drum ornament is 4 1/4" in diameter and 3" tall. It is made of paper mache, and finished in a 9 step process, for an authentic vintage look! The drum has a cord for hanging, and one of my approx 2"x5" large extra grubby, super grungy prim tags. The drum is dark red with a crackled ivory top and bottom and black rims around the top and bottom. There is gold rubbed on the rims, to resemble the remains of shiny paint from long ago. The roping around the drum is natural brown. The drums are heavily distressed and antiqued, and finished with matte sealer. I was inspired by the story of 10 year old Civil War drummer Johnny Clem in making these drums...on the tags is a reprinted antique photo of a young boy (this is not a photo of the real Johnny Clem), with "Johnny 1861" stamped at the bottom. There are 4 of these drums available, they are sold seperately, for $8 each. Great piled in a bowl as shown, hanging from a peg or a 4th of July themed tree, and on a Christmas tree! Perfect for a doll or bear to hold, or tucked in a cupboard. When these are gone, they are gone! From my smoke free home! available in my sweetlibertyprims.etsy.com shop!
