Repaint
An ornament that was already produced and has now been specially painted in a different color combination. These ornaments are normally produced in smaller quantities and are highly sought-after by collectors.
Resin (plaster/resin composite aka “disaster plaster”)
A material that is often used when artists hope to capture even more detail than 100% resin/styrene allows. “Resin” can reproduce intricate designs, enabling artists to create rich textures and delicate patterns that would be harder to achieve in other mediums. The unique surface properties also make resin the ideal material for many of the distinctive, hand-applied paint finishes that accentuate these remarkable details. With coated resins vibrant colors can be achieved, while uncoated resin can achieve a beautiful water-color painted look. The cost-saving aspects of “resin” also make it good for short-run designs.
Reveal Ornament (Mystery Reveal Ornament)
An ornament whose identity is not revealed until it is available for purchase during an in-store event.
