About Calliope Designs 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 36 years of distributing their Christmas tree ornaments through fine retailers and major department stores nationwide, their whimsical little dough ornaments are treasured by children and grownups all over the world! Each Calliope dough ornament is an original creation designed by Dorr Eddy. The unique character of each Christmas ornament adds to the style of a completely handmade product. The bright colors and high gloss coating add to the ornament's attractiveness and durability. Our special techniques and the tools we have created greatly enhance our consistent quality. ABOUT OUR PRODUCTS When we began personalizing our handcrafted dough ornaments at arts and crafts fairs in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1972, our customers often reported back to us that the recipients absolutely loved their gifts and wondered where it had been made specially for them.
