Day 29

A commission for a good friend. 

When Jennifer, Bill's wife, asked me to do a commission for Bill's birthday, I was thrilled.
What fun it would be. Then she started describing what she wanted. She was looking to a representation of their blended family together including many of the things he loves; wine, photography, art, and cheese.  She had a pretty good idea of what she was looking for. I soon realized that Jen is just as creative as Bill is. She came up with some wonderful suggestions that really made the piece fun to do.

So happy birthday to you Bill and 

thanks for the honor Jennifer.

Cheers - Wine Glass Giveaway

Just in time for Christmas Eve, or maybe

 New Years - It's the wine glass give away.

Gold and silver dots frame the words "Cheers" on these large wine glasses. Theses hand-painted glasses are perfect for "Martin Fills". (We Martin's don't fool around with our wine... more please.) the paint has been baked on and they are dishwasher safe but I'd wash them by hand just to make sure.

Painting Glasses for the Unforgettable Art Event

I had a lot of fun painting wine glasses this week for the Unforgettable Art Event.  The  Annual Affair for Alzheimer's will be held Saturday May 3. Tickets: www.alz.org/illinois or call 815-484-1300.

Using Americana Gloss Enamels I painted flowers from my Garden Series. It took awhile to catch on to painting on glass with transparent paint but I got it.

In fact, it was so much fun that I went out and bought several more wine glasses to paint. I thought it might be fun to paint Wisconsin scenes for the upcoming Artarma in July.

Gayle Heinemann Covers a Wine Glass With Polymer Clay

We had such a great time at Art Scene Friday and Saturday. So many wonderful artists, great crowd of people, music and lots of fun. My table was next to Gayle Heinemann's.
Gayle makes wonderful jewelry out of polymer clay.

Gayle decorates a wine glass for the Unforgettable Art Annual Affair for Alzheimer's to be held Saturday May 3rd in Rockford. (tickets: www.alz.org/illinois or call 815.484.1300)

First she wraps the glass in clay.

She wraps, trims and adds some lighter blue clay.

Short break for dinner. Glass is fully wrapped .

 

She adds grass.

Flower stems are added.

Almost done, just need some flowers but alas the show is ending...

Stay tuned, Gayle said she'd send pictures of the finished glasses. Great job Gayle! Just four more to go. 

I'll post my painted glasses when they're done.
