Love Birds

Love Birds

hand engraved glass. $75 (update: sold)

Happy Valentine's Day! Here is a recent piece that I put in the Decatur Gallery show this past weekend. There was a lovely open house saturday night and many of the artists made special pieces for the "love is in the air" theme.

Have a nice evening! We are doing our usual cooking in on this holiday since we love to cook...for a few weeks we have been talking about making Lions Head Chinese meatballs. I found this beautiful blog listed below and we are combining a few different recipes we have found...now off to the buford highway farmers market to pick up some groceries!

swirly fun love for your valentine

Calligraphy on glass. This is how I first started etching glass and I still love it. I do not use acid, I use a drill and it is very similar to drawing with a pencil...but it is permanent.

These little vases are about 3 or so inches tall and make a perfect gift for your valentine. Just $30, they will be beautiful with an elegant flower perched on top. (I made some paper flowers) The etching is swirly and fun, which makes it prefect for anytime of year, really.

Another plus is that these can be personalized. Add a name, a phrase, a line from a poem (there is not a ton of room, so don't get too crazy...) You can make these your own and have some fun. Just think about conversation hearts or whatever message you'd like to send. Personalized vases are $38.

Currently you can find these at the Decatur Market & Gallery. http://www.decaturgallery.com/

Go by and see the "i love you" vases in person. Other locations will be announced soon and you can always contact me here to order one.
