Fabulous Tentacle Glassware

Back at Christmas time, I was trying to think of gifts to make for friends and family. A friend and I spent an afternoon at Goodwill, combing through the glassware on sale, and the idea of glass painting was born. I found some good glass paints (Vitrea 160) at my favorite art supply store, and started painting. The great thing about these glass paints is that the paint sets after cooking for 45 minutes in a regular oven at 325 degrees. After that, the glass is dishwasher safe.


Samo loves her tentacle glass! 


I made a set of martini glasses and a set of wine glasses.

For your rum


So many octopuses! So many tentacles!

The flower glasses are coming out great also. 

I'm gearing up for Punk Rock Flea Market, June 4th, where I'll have a table. I'll be selling these glasses, some prints and cards of my paintings, and my Dinos and Gatos de los Muertos. And Samo's going to be selling some flower pots and jewelry made from old computer parts. It's always a fun time. Stop by and say hi! It's only $1 to get in, and all the proceeds from door sales go to the Low Income Housing Initiative. 



These were commissioned upon request.
