Marine Beauty

Say members of the Santiago Atitlan Women's Group, 'We love nature, its colors, its textures, and the creatures that live in it,' and they share this love through a pair of ornaments. In shining orange and blue, two beautiful octopuses are crafted of petite glass beads that are carefully applied by hand. The Guatemalan artisans detail each octopus with surprisingly intricate shapes with eight long tentacles that curl below for a fascinating addition to the tree.
