When I purchased the fracture/streamer glass, I noticed that there were bits that didn't include enough green or red, so I augmented the glass with bits of red and green glass confetti or chards. The pendants with the fracture streamer are on the right.
The second style of pendants are a variation on my wire wrapped heart pendant, adapted for Christmas of course!
I first make frit balls out of red glass as the ornaments. Next I tack fuse them to the base glass before I grind a channel to hold the wire and refire them to polish the glass. Then I wire wrap the pendant and finish by adding a red Swarovski crystal to the bottom and silver star to the top. The above picture is of my prototype, which didn't include the star as I was still waiting for them to arrive.
While I don't have any holiday sweaters, I do have a green sweater and a red cardigan that I wear during the holidays. I'm looking forward to adding the pendants for a more festive appearance.
My husband especially likes the Christmas trees. Let me know what you think. And, happy holidays!
