Christmas is coming and soon there may be snow

I was lucky enough to be in Northern Italy last January during a snowfall and for the first time in my life saw single, huge and beautiful snowflakes. I have seen pictures of them under microscopes but this was the first time I had actually seen the little six sided spiky crystal shapes with my own eyes.

Inspired by those flakes and my love of the colour cobalt blue, since it reminds me of delft tiles and Nordic 1960s designs, I worked at recreating some snowflakes using cobalt blue enamel and fused clear and opal white glass. Each one has been individually hand painted and by the end of the week, they will be ready for hanging on the Christmas tree and will be for sale in my Folksy shop. http://www.folksy.com/shops/Redhenglass

    Wow Angela, I thought these sounded nice when you described them, but they are STUNNING! They'll fly off the shelves :)

    Thanks for your message Flora, managed to get them listed this morning, have to confess that I was rather late in getting them up for sale!
