Christmas Joy
Lampwork Glass Colors for Christmas Designs Is there a more quintessential combination of colors to represent Christmas than the traditional emerald green and ruby red? Nope. There is not. I've done the whole 'vintage' Christmas theme with more muted burgundies and olives. A deep maroon and hunter green also work well with traditional home decor. Lime green is always a fun twist to brighten things up - especially if you are fond of the grinch. My personal preference is icy blue and white with snowflakes and icicles ... because I like to match my love for all things blue - even when it comes to holiday decor. Metallic golds and silvers always reign supreme and when it comes to glitzing things up for Christmas, the more sparkles the better. Ironically emerald green and ruby red are two colors that I never gravitate towards. Ever. I bought 1/4 pound of these colors when I first started lampworking (15 years ago) and I STILL have some left. That is how infrequently I use them.
