Handpainted Las Vegas Christmas Ornament in Gift Box

Patch of Shade Ornaments: A Unique Travel Souvenir

At Patch of Shade, we share your passion for travel and believe that the keepsakes we collect should be just as remarkable as the places we visit. That's why we've created a line of travel-inspired ornaments that capture the essence of some of the world's most captivating destinations.

Crafted with care, each of our ornaments is hand-painted from the inside of a delicate, hand-blown glass ball. This ancient art form, known as "inside painting" or "Ne Qua," has been prized by collectors since the 1800s. The more intricate and artistic the imagery, the more skilled the artist must be to execute it flawlessly.

When the painting is complete, the result is nothing short of spectacular. The glass on the outside of the ornament reflects light beautifully, giving the design a mesmerizing, translucent quality. Hung amid the twinkling lights of a Christmas tree, these ornaments simply dazzle.

Unlike ornaments painted on the outside, our inside-painted creations allow the light to pass through, creating a stunning visual effect that can't be replicated. A mini brush is inserted through the hole at the top, and the artist works solely by touch, painting each intricate detail in reverse.

The process begins with an outline of the design, followed by the painstaking addition of colors and layers, starting with the top and working down to the background. It can take years of training for an artist to reach the level of skill required to produce the high-quality works we offer.

No two of our ornaments are alike, as each one is a unique work of art. From the iconic landmarks of Las Vegas, including the Bellagio, New York-New York, and the Las Vegas sign, to the vibrant showgirls and the thrill of the roulette table, our ornaments capture the essence of this one-of-a-kind city.

Packaged in a decorative gift box, our ornaments are not only a beautiful addition to your holiday decor but also a cherished keepsake that will remind you of your travels for years to come. Whether you're starting a new collection or adding to an existing one, our travel-inspired ornaments make the perfect souvenir.

At Patch of Shade, we believe that the products we create should be as remarkable as the places they represent. That's why we've poured our hearts and souls into crafting these truly unique and captivating travel souvenirs, just for you.
