Seeing the first holiday market invitations finally got me to do a thing I have been procrastinating since July.... make these little pickle ornaments.
I made the first one two years ago for my Mee Maw when her christmas pickle broke when her tree fell over and she couldn't find a small replacement one. The bigger replacement was so easy to find in the pickle hiding game, that she opted instead to use the old broken one for a few years.
So I took some of the Italian neon glass I know an love and made some lil tiny pickles. The more I make the better I get at making them. Now I wanna make more of them and silver the insides, but alas, holiday window season is rapidly approaching, and its neat to see some places using neon for their windows.
The smaller I make the pickles, the easier they are to hide on the tree for pickle game... and easier for me to ship :).

I have been making more pickles, and got some super tiny 6mm tubing (they didn't have 8mm). These little pickles are gonna be much better for hiding on small trees- or for expert pickle finders.
Pickle game hard mode!
They are for sale at Urbanglass and you can even buy them and they can ship.
Pickle Ornament
Glass pickle ornament made with Murano glass neon tubing. Measures approximately 2.5 inches long
UrbanGlass (store.urbanglass.org)
The listing on their webstore claims they are 2 inches, however some of these new pickles are even smaller and better for hiding.
I will be selling them in person at the Resistor Holiday Market for $50 each an you can pick the size you like. Sunday, December 14th at NYC Resistor in Brooklyn from noon to 6.
Someone asked on one of my bountiful flame harvest days why the pickles I make aren't shiny at first. I explained that the cucumbers have to be "pickled" (with silver) to become shiny ;)
