    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!
