Fire Divas Gossip Column

There are only 18 more shopping and crafting days until Christmas! That means there is still plenty of time make jewelry using artisan lampwork beads. And if you are making gifts with artisan lampwork beads, you should snap a photo and enter it into the Fire Divas inaugural jewelry challenge! You can see the entries to date at the Fire Divas Jewelry Challenge Flickr group.
