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.

"Whimsical Friends"
Very well crafted with striking color combinations. A little bit of whimsy from the underwater world. Very pleased with my purchase.

"Love these!"
Even more beautiful than in the photo. They appear to be well made with love and care. Thought about giving one as a gift, but not sure I could part with it now. Im considering hanging one from the rear-view mirror of my car so people can see it. (After all, its just too cute to only see during the Christmas holiday). And if they ask where I got it from, I will tell them. :)
