"the lava lamp is an example of sixties kitsch"

Kitsch | Definition of Kitsch by Merriam-Webster

Merriam‑Webster
Kitsch | Define Kitsch at Dictionary.com

The definition left a bad taste (no pun intended) so I looked it up in my dictionary. Yes, I still have a dictionary and like the definition there better which is:
Artistic or literary material designed to appeacl to current popular tastes & interests.
Made this ornament twice. First I used gray cardstock for the base but thought my 2nd version with the green vine pattern looked better since it looked like it was hanging off a tree branch.
