Magnolia Glass

It's been three years... Unbelievable! Finally I am back with the new glass - "Magnolia". 

Celtic Beer Glass - 2

I just finished second glass from Celtic beer glasses set. I like drawing Celtic knots and patterns a lot, so finished this one really quick.

All painted glass looks better when the pictures of it are made at sunny day but I cannot wait to show it.

I even have not covered it with finish yet, so it still requires some work. 

I have two more unpainted glasses in this set but I am not sure what to draw on the next one. I am choosing between dragon and just beautiful Celtic pattern. 

Celtic Knot Beer Glass

After long time I finally got back to glass painting and stated to paint Celtic set. I don't know how many glasses will be in this set, two or four, at this time, but I really love drawing celtic knots. They are amazing. 

So this is first glass and it is probably the simplest. It was my first celtic knotwork. I plan much more complex picture on next one (yes, I already started to draw it). 

I missed glass painting so much that I painted it just in couple days, which is extremely fast for me. I don't have much time for my art activities so usually it takes weeks. 

Also there is always the problem for me to take pictures of my projects.  

Hope next glass will be out really soon! 

Hand-Painted Coffee Coffee Cup

I started to paint this cup so long time ago that I cannot even remember when. But recently I found it and decided to finish.

 What can look more in place on the coffee cup than coffee beans? So I drew mixed size beans on it and decorated the top of drawing with real coffee beans.

 Warm brown colors to add more "coffee spirit", you can almost smell it :)

Hand Painted Martini Glass - Bluebird of Happiness

Sometimes it takes longer to find time to make pictures and write post than to paint a glass :).
I have finished painting of this new martini glass at least two weeks ago. The name of this glass is Bluebird of Happiness. This is second (and last) one of "Magic Birds" set (firs one is here).

Wedding Gothic Glasses

Finally I can show these glasses. This is a gift for my really close friend who is about to get married so I cannot show them until I gave them to her. 

Last week this ultimately happened and I am more than excited to present. My friend asked me to make something “gothic” so I decided to use red, yellow, white and blue as main colors to make them look like stained glass in churches. 

Shield  and sword were chosen to remind knight’s emblem. Rose - to represent love.

Hope my friend and her husband will enjoy these glasses. I wish them all the love and happiness in their marriage.

Hand-painted glass - Pumpkins Madness

I have completed paining of fall glass set about a month ago but at the first I had no camera and at the second - time. Finally I am ready to show third glass - Pumpkin Madness.I have planned to complete this glass before Thanksgiving but as usual I am six month late.

I also had plans to create winter set of glasses but looks like I should start summer one - maybe I'll have it ready before next autumn:)

First glass from this set can be found here and second one - here

Underwater World Hand Painted Glass

This new glass was not created only by me. My friend started to work on it  for her son and drew octopus, fish and seaweeds. The problem was in her outliner. She had a bad one so she didn't like her art work and gave it to me.
I left almost all underwater creatures she has drawn except couple that was covered with thick rubber-looking outliner. Those were deleted using hot oven and sharp knife.

After removing those parts I drew Nemo, jellyfish and octopus on the glass base and started painting.

 Something was wrong with this glass, I have never had so many problems with painting anything. Paints, outliner and my hand just did not want to be with this glass.

 I was painting and removing what I had painted, I almost broke this glass itself twice... This was tough but I did it. Finally it was ready and was presented as a gift to my friend and her kids. I hope they like it.

The pictures have a bad quality because my camera stopped working recently, so all pictures were made using my cell phone.

Grapes. Wine. Glass

I have finished painting glass #2 from the new set. Here is the first one, if you missed it. I decided that this set will have name "Harvest time" and  I'll paint leaves, grapes, pumpkins and something else:) Probably apples but I am still thinking about it.
What is more natural than having wine glass painted with grapes? :-)

This glass is a kind of experimental. I have tried different brushes, new paintings, new outliner. Some of these experiments were not 100% successful. So there are small defects. Probably if you don't know where they are you wont't even notice them. But I know. I see them and it makes me a little bit upset.

Peak of Colors - Hand Painted Glass

I have finished painting of one more wine glass - Peak of Colors. This is first glass for new hand painted set. I still have not decided how the next glass in this set will look. I have two options: make all set using Autumn theme or make set using seasons of year theme. Anyway here it is. Glass inspired by a colorful death of summer...

Next picture is the look from inside. This glass is for white wine and I suppose that pale color of wine will accent colors of glass.
