When Dorr and Stephanie Eddy began making bread dough ornaments in their kitchen in 1972 they had no idea how popular their Christmas tree decorations would become. Today, after more than 40 years of distributing their Christmas tree ornaments through fine retailers and major department stores nationwide, their whimsical little ornaments are treasured by children and grownups all over the world!

While it is no longer possible for Dorr and Stephanie to make the ornaments themselves, they are still individually hand made using many of the tools and techniques developed over the years. Calliope Designs ornaments are now made of a durable and lightweight polymer clay, and they are all still the original creations of Dorr Eddy.
