2012 - The year for new designs!

It's official - 2012 is here and I'm ready to face it head on! I've kicked off the new year with a couple of new wine glass designs and I'd like to keep the momentum going and crank out more and more. A good family friend has a gift shop in West Virginia where I have a couple of sets of wine glasses sitting on her shelves. Next time I go up, I'm going to bring a whole slew of my glassware up there to try and sell. I'll switch over those listings from "ready to ship" to "made to order" and it will clear out some space in my studio for some new designs!

Now, my mum design is not exactly new, but I wanted to try it with just black and white. Here are a couple of photos:

Not sure if you can tell -  but some of the flowers are painted in - black outline with white filler and vise versa. Unfortunately, to my chagrin, the photos don't do them justice. The design really pops and hopefully this set will get more appreciation at the gift shop where people can look at them in person!

Next are my dogwood blossom glasses. I've done these before, but not for a while. Check em out:

With the white background in my lightbox, it's hard to get a good feel of the flowers. They have beautiful petals with a light pink shimmer over top of the white paint. So lovely!

My goal this week - create two more listings.......and do a bit of yoga....and get some more sleep. I'm tellin' ya - I'm gonna shake it up in 2012. It's time to get my grown up pants on!
