JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -- Local artist Dodie Eisenhauer, from Daisy, Mo., was recently honored to be among the Best of Missouri Hands artists invited to a dedication ceremony at the Missouri Governor's Mansion unveiling a walnut display case with handmade Christmas ornaments from the mansion's past three Christmas trees. The cabinet, built by Lou Swacker and designed by Heinrich and Aimee Leonard, was designed to resemble the mansion and hangs on its first floor back sun porch with 93 ornaments. Eisenhauer, who is known for her wire mesh angels, has provided the tree topper the past three years. The piece chosen for display was her tree topper from 2004 with the Lewis and Clark theme featuring Sacagawea. It has been placed on the top of the cabinet.
