    Peacock Wine Glasses

    My friend Lisa contacted me one day because she wanted to get her friend peacock feather wine glasses as a housewarming gift!

    It was my first time painting on glass and I wanted to take on the challenge!

    I started by buying two nice wine glasses and Iridescent Glass Paint (shown below)

    She sent me over some pictures of wine glasses that she found on the internet and I used the pictures to help guide me in my painting.

    I first painted the bottom of the glasses (she wanted one blue and one green) until enough color had been painted on to where I liked it. Next, I worked on making a central line for the stem of the peacock feather. Once it dried, I started on the lines for the feathers. After the base lines were painted on, the colors and accents were placed on the glasses. The last thing to be painted on where the black accent colors to highlight the peacock feathers.

    It was a fun project and I am happy that I was given the opportunity to paint them for her :)

    Enjoy!

    Custom Wedding Dress Painting

    Custom Wedding Gown Painting, Alexis Martinez Puleio

    Alexis Martinez Puleio

    A custom wedding dress painting is the new way of preserving your wedding gown! It is also a gift that will be a lasting memory of the Bride’s big day!

    The dress above was custom made as a surprise wedding gift for the Bride and Groom! My best friend, Jenny, contacted me one day looking for ideas of what to give her friend back home for a wedding gift. She had a certain budget in mind, and I said, “Why not give a unique gift? Find out what her wedding dress looks like and I can paint it for you!”

    After researching her dress style, and getting a good view of what it really looked like, I was able to give her the gift she was looking for!

    The best part of the gift was when I was able to speak to the Bride myself after she opened her present! It was such a compliment when she said, “I love it! I feel like you picked up my dress and photocopied it to the canvas!”

    Above you can see the painted dress next to her actual dress!

    Congratulations, Gia and Joe, and Thank You Jennybean for giving me this opportunity!

    This is a 24″ x 36″ x 1.5″ professional canvas,

    painted with acrylic paints.
