2013 New Bern Christmas Ornament

Each year since 1996 I have been designing  an ornament that depicts New Bern.  They are collected by locals as well as tourists, given as gifts to visiting dignitaries and conference attendees, and as thank yous for various groups.

Once I get the idea, I sketch it out and send it to some friends in Rhode Island that make it come to life. They are 100 percent made in the USA of solid brass with a 24kt Gold finish. I also design a card that the ornament is packaged in so it can be easily sent through the mail.

This year I depict the Skipjack Ada Mae which is moored at the base of Pollock Street in Downtown New Bern.

Finished!
