Ju Ju Jubilee

This past weekend, I was a vendor at my first festival event at the Chesapeake Jubilee! I was so nervous and excited at the same time because although I know I do decent work, no one besides my friends and family have seen my hand painted glasses and I just didn’t know if other people would like it. I was surprised at the outcome and I am happy the weather cleared up for people to come out.

My Mom and I got everything together that we thought we would need, from display items, tablecloth, business cards, sign and a bunch of stuff. It felt like one of those moments, a moment I will never forget and I will always look back on and cherish. Last year, I had helped out a tattoo shop at the same jubilee, and I told myself a year ago that I would have my own table and I would sell my artwork. I had no idea then, that I would be painting on glassware. A happy accident you could say. I rather enjoy it.
I created so many cool designs that I think are more my style than just the swirly design.

I was surprised at the response I received to my glasses and it really humbled me to hear compliments on my work. The work that I have stayed up for countless hours burning the midnight oil, or rather burning my candles, to create these unique pieces for others to enjoy. I needed that boost. After going through so much this past month of personal issues, this event confirmed that I am on the right path when it comes to my artwork and my career. And I couldn’t be happier at this very moment.
I just wanted to share a few photos from the festival and I am hoping to do at least one festival or event once a month and of course I will continue to sell my artwork on my etsy shop! (you can check it out at the top of my page under the etsy tab! )
As always, thanks for stopping by!

Banners, Cards and Stamps

It’s Tuesday, and we’re already in the month of May! Where is the time going? My time has been spent getting things ready for the Chesapeake Jubilee, where I will have a table set up selling hand painted glassware and other gifts. I spent last night designing my banner, my business cards and even designed a cute lil stamp I can use for my product labels!
Check it out!

In case you are wondering what program I use to edit, I use Corel Paint Shop Pro. It is a user friendly program similar to other photo editing programs.

I have listed 3 new items on my Etsy Shop. I have been practicing what is called one-stroke painting with a rose design. I decided to do three roses designs on some stemless wine glasses and I think they came out pretty good. I listed it on Etsy and will also have these at the jubilee at my table.

I really need to build a light box so I can take better pictures, but hey, I am getting there!
In other news, I have been growing my hair out, and I was craving an edgy haircut, so I had my friend, Mary cut my hair for me. Don’t mind the color right now, my hair is in transition to a brighter color. I’m in the lightening stage.

I wanted short disconnected layers that framed my face and the side of my head. I am going back and forth from what colors, either bright red again or deep red, or even mermaid hair with teal and purple since I have done a few of those already hahaha. We shall see!
I also managed to draw up a few designs for a client. Check these out!
