Add a little sparkle to your holiday season with this lovely handcrafted icicle ornament .

Mallory Hoffman
Heartfelt key pedant with nylon cord
I made this heart on a key using a special silver glass called Blue Chalcedony. It struck the color as I manipulated the glass in the flame I rolled the glass in frit (ground glass) and added my handmade murrini (flower like decorations). I annealed the key pendant in my kiln so it should be good to wear for a long time. The key pendant, with the bead, is about 2 inches in length. You can use the nylon cord, which you can tie, to show off your new pendant or you can add your own chain or, maybe, a kumihimo cord. I hope you enjoy your new pendant!
Value $30
Kim Ballor
This set of five lampwork beads are made by me and were featured in Bead Unique Magazine. The holes run horizontally across the top, so the beads hang like flags. Each bead has a "Dolly Parton" heart on the front.
Sizes of the 5 beads in the set: 15 x 21mm, 20 x 20mm (2),18 x 18mm,15 x 15mm
Value: $20.00
Jelveh Jaferian
I made this bead a few weeks ago and love it lots! It's made with two different shades of silver-laden glass and then textured and encased, and finally, I added end caps. It would make an incredible focal bead! Size: 43 mm x 14 mm
Value: $30
