Since I painted the Appalachian State University beer steins for my cousin a couple of weeks ago, I decided to paint some more glasses to sell. Well I now can confirm that I cannot paint a straight line!!! So when someone says that they cannot paint, "can't even draw a straight line", I can truthfully respond that neither can I.
I am attempting to paint a beer stein with the North Carolina State logo and Woof Pack, one for the University of North Carolina with Tar Heels on the back and another one for ASU with Mountaineers. I also have a glass started with a tux and the word "groom" painted on the front which I am hoping with fit in with some bride and bridesmaids wine glasses. Of the four "glasses" that I am working on, the tux looks the best...no straight lines. I go downstairs to paint and work on the glasses for awhile then I get disgusted with them and leave. I really have to finish them soon.
I am also painting a clear glass vase using multiple colors and it is starting to look good. I am using black, silver, purple, blue, white and a clear medium to do layers of colors. I love the way the vase is starting to look. I am seeing the different colors through the layers by using the clear medium as a layer or mixing it with a color creating a transparent wash.
Today I also started painting some wine glasses and a carafe with a 19th hole theme. Last time I painted a set of these glasses, they sold immediately. Hopefully I can get these finished and get them on my online stores soon. Maybe the set will sell quickly like the others.
Still hand quilting on my Appalachian State Wall Hanging. Working on the two long sides and should have those finished today so I can start on the short sides. I am anxious to get that finished. As usual, I have numerous things that I am working on at the same time. I want to begin creating some "quilted" ornaments with the college materials that I have and get those ready for sale.
Lots of things to do and as usual not enough time for everything that I want to accomplish. Tomorrow is another day to get things done.
