Painting on glassware is addictive. These wine glasses are part of a Flower of the Month series...my series— not Hallmark’s! The more you paint, the more possibilities
you will imagine. If you can paint on glasses, you can paint on plates, bowls, and cups. You can create entire place set- tings for holidays, weddings, bridal showers...the possi- bilities are endless.
Glass ball ornaments aren’t just for Christmas. They can be designed to match any room décor, or painted with your state bird or flower. Give them as a birthday gift display- ing that month’s flower or gemstone. In Germany, painted glass ornaments are hung on long ribbons and displayed in windows all year long. Start with my designs, but don’t stop there! Let your imagination wander.
