The Key Painting - Completed

The Key - Acrylic Painting by Margot

Finally got back to finishing this one.  I could mess with it forever - but there comes a time when it is time to say it is finished and move on.

Actually I've got a few other small paintings competed. - Hmmmm what next?

Final Cinnamon Bear Drawings.

Still adding finishing touches
Getting close to the end of this project. I still have the backs to paint and hangers to add. I got the last of the episodes listened to and drawn tonight. You can see them a little lower down this page. I ended up with a couple of extra ones for a couple of the episodes. 
Had to add this one

Mosaic Glassware Projects

Click to my listing of this item

Click to get to my listing of this item.
These are two of my latest glass on glass projects. If you happen to click the links and they have already found a home I would be happy to do a similar project for you.

They have been done using an epoxy glaze. They can be hand washed and dried and would be a beautiful addition to your home or to give as gifts.

The Cinamon Bear Collection - so far

Progress so far on this project

This project is moving along. I listened to eight more 30 minute episodes and got the initial drawings done. I still have about 5 more episodes to listen to but I will paint this set of 8 first. 
Just need to glaze and add the hangers to this batch

I've listened to these episodes and done their drawings

Mosaic Pitcher and Stemwear

I found this pitcher and these two matching glasses and decided they would make a lovely mosaic project.

It is a little be more tricky when you are working on surfaces that are not flat. There is a time lag between placing the piece and the glue drying. You can see how I have the pitcher balanced to place the top row of flat marbles. On the bottom I was able to turn it upside down and use tape to secure the flat marbles while they dried.

This is a project that I plan to offer for sale
for $150.00 plus shipping by USPS
Medium Flat Rate Box plus tracking is $12.00
International shipping is quite a bit more, let me know if you need me to get a price on that.

Because it is a handmade mosaic piece it is best to hand wash by wiping it with a damp soapy rag.
The glaze that I use is pretty durable stuff even so I would use care in washing the various elements and avoid submerging the project or getting a lot of water on the mosaic portions.
