This adorable shungite hangable features a funny black "Squeedle," one big round shungite bead, and one frosted glass lampwork bead with white spots. Two small blue glass beads are added for accent.
What on Earth is a Squeedle? More about that later.
This would make a fun and functional gift for any child's room - it can hang just about anywhere and takes up very little space.
Our children need protection even more than we, for a number of reasons, and sometimes shelf space is limited. These hangable accessories can go on a hook on the wall, on a lamp or a knob - essentially anywhere!
For this piece, a large round shungite bead is situated below a cartoon-like black lampwork glass "Squeedle" with white polka dots. She has big black and white eyes, a huge orange nose, & a sweet yellow bow in her hair.
Her little buddy - a smaller blue octopus - is happily along for the ride!
Glass artist Sue Hoberg is known in part for her Squeedles - happy, colorful little cartoon-like octopi that have eight little round balls for tentacles. Sue's Squeedle sales support Type I Diabetes research for a cure.
