My Newest Project: Glass Ornaments!

I am selling some of my ornaments at The Mix, a cute little boutique/cafe in Hewitt, TX (near Waco).   In addition to the ceramic ones like I sell through CafePress and Zazzle, there are some new new hand-made glass ornaments (or, hand decorated, I should say...glass blowing is not one of my talents).

Here's some pictures of the glass ornaments I decorated...

I used oil based sharpie markets (they work the best on glass, and have a very paint-like feel).    It took a little while to get used to drawing on a curved surface, but once I got the hang of it, boy these were fun to make.  Every one is a little different, and they come in various color.  So far there are clear, white, red, green and blue ornaments...with various color scribble prints.  I really like the lacy look of the white on the clear (in the picture above that one is resting on a scarf my mom made...I think they look just lovely together).

Here you can see some ornaments set up on the tree at the Mix.    

Here's one of my Scribbleprint Star ornaments.   

I love how it looks on the tree.

Anyways, if you're in the Waco/Hewitt area...I'd love it if you'll come come out and check them out!  And you might want to try one of The Mix's incredible quiches while you're there.  They are DELICIOUS!   You can find The Mix at 803 N. Hewitt Dr in Hewitt, TX.

Check Out My New Bound Mini Journals!

Zazzle added new mini journals, and I am so excited to have these!

Like all Zazzle products they are fully customizable.  You can even add personalization on the inside covers (front and back).  I added quotes to in inside cover of some of these, like the one below from my Roses Journal...

Of course, you can replace the quotes with whatever you want. Adding your own message or dedication would make this  really special gift.

I would love some suggestions on quotes to use with some of my other designs (the ones I haven't added yet - you can see all my designs here).  If I use your suggested quote, I will send you a free sampling of scribbleprint goodies.   You can leave your suggestions in the comments below (if you know the author, please include it...especially if it's you!).

New Design - Roses on Weathered Wood

Since Zazzle came out with wrapping paper, I've been having fun messing around with seamless designs in the Gimp.  I was playing around with some photos I had...most looked pretty horrible made seamless.

And then, I tried a picture of a rose that had found it's way through our fence from our neighbors yard.  It looked nice...but was missing something.  I decided to try the cartoonize filter (same as posterize on Adobe). 

And wow...this showed up...

 

There's this little thrill that goes up my spine when I try something and it turns out really well.  I loved how it came out.  It really looked painted (unlike a lot of photos I've tried this technique on).  Even the fading that comes with making a design seamless worked here, making it look like the flowers were painted on the wood, and weather had faded the paint after time.  

It looks good on wrapping paper, but I tried it on some other items and think it looks even better on these....
