My Christmas Tree is covered with handmade ornaments… and I’m always looking to add more! So I was excited to snag one of these limited-edition tiny dinosaur ornaments from Brett Kern’s online sale. He’s known for making larger dinosaur statues that look inflated. I haven’t started THAT collection yet… but I can see THIS collection starting already! Check out his “inflated” masterpieces – @brettkernart
