"I’m John Santellano and I am a first generation Mexican American glass artist.  I am what is known as a collaboration artist. For this holiday submission I have glass necklaces.  My introduction in to the world of glass art was making glass pendants.  This started 10 years ago.  I met an amazing macrame artist in Eugene that makes micro macrame necklaces named Gera.  Gera is Chilean and runs @elquinoarte macrame and leather business.  We have collaborated on these necklaces for about one year."
