For Halloween


My new friends Roy and Richard encouraged me to design something for halloween and suggested that I used skulls ... and this is what I did to the glass tea cup I got from them.
I embellished red rhinestones into the silver-coated skulls. For these three items I used solvent-based vibrant glass paints from Pebeo.

Adding Clay Flowers to Painted Glass

Thanks to my fellow crafter friend Kat Lee, I have learnt how to make simple flowers from Deco clay, a super fine paper clay from Japan. I spent a few days practising how to make mini roses and small white flowers and as you can see, the end results are very rewarding. I am looking forward to my next lesson!











I am supporting a non-profit organization for Brest Cancer Survivors and will be very actively involved in helping these ladies to raise funds for their activities, with my crafts.

For Weddings


This medium-sized glass votive was first frosted white, then design was executed with a gold liner. To add glamor to it, yellow rhinestones were embellished to enhance the design.
This small votive was also frosted and the design was executed by simply applying silver glitter all over.




After frosting this small wine glass, I used a silver liner to run the design all over and had some samll clear rhinestones embellished at random. I hade some hand-made deco clay mini flowers attached to the foot of the glass and turned it into a lovely tea light holder.


These 2 are holders for long candles and would look great on any dinner table. The first is embellished with white pearls, while the other has yellow rhinestones on it.

Working On Wine Glasses

Painting on wine glasses can be very rewarding and awesome to some artists. I've been spending quite a bit of my time, working on some wine glasses recently. With a brush and some glass paints you can turn an old wine glass into a great-looking tea light holder or candle holder like what I've done to the following:
