A Little Wine With That, Please!

Anyone who knows me knows that I am easily distracted. That can be a good thing sometimes...this past week-end I had nothing to do. Everyone I knew was busy and I was totally on my own. Since it was the week-end I really didn't feel like working on the beads I had been doing all week, because even though it was fun it just seemed like work. Being temporarily stumped I decided to have a glass of wine and read a book. I never got around to the book, or the wine for that matter! When I went to the cabinet where I kept my glasses I saw some inexpensive glasses I had forgotten all about. Thinking this might be a fun project I set about decorating one of the larger goblets.
I can see lots of changes I might make but I also see things that I love about it; for a first attempt I am reasonably pleased with it. Since I hadn't blogged for a bit I took some pictures and here I am!
This is mostly Premo with some Sculpey thrown in. I used scrap clay but added enough new to give it a base color. After curing I used alcohol inks (appropriate, no?) and then went over it with Inka Gold in green and purple. The finishing touches are Guilders Paste Silver.
I also tried a couple different fabrics for the backgrounds, each gives a different feel to the piece, don't you think?
I enjoyed this project so much that it just may become a part of the Out Of Time Designs regular inventory.
Thanks for stopping by and looking!

Spectacular, creative and very unique! I'm drawn most to the photos on the white fabric. On my monitor the darker background makes it a bit more difficult to see.

Thank you so much, Anita! It was fun taking a step outside my usual work. I like the lighter fabric as well; they are both table coverings for shows. The lighter is gauze and the darker is a faux leather, which is pretty in person but I can see how it would be too dark on a monitor.
I am planning more goblets of different styles but not sure if selling them online would be cost prohibitive. The shipping must be awful!

How about for weddings via special order? People pay astronomical prices for wedding things!

Great minds think alike, Anita! I started poking around my stash of glassware and came up with some flutes that after I finished said 'weddings' to me so I listed them on etsy using lots of wedding tags.
Here are the pics-

I Love the new glass! BF-ed about it. I think they should do really. I bet Trina would have some great hints for locations to market things for weddings.

Your site is telling me that {"Whoops! That looks like a duplicate comment. Please submit one that you haven't already posted."} so I'm going to try a third time to get it to submit.

I have been looking for smaller boxes to put the glasses in before they go into the shipping box. Would love to do like a 'presentation' box but for now it is too expensive for me to do. Perhaps down the road. I did find a wholesale source for glasses so that i can do special orders and yet retain some control of it.
Will have to check with Trina!

Sounds like you're on your way. You're a woman of action and I applaud you!
