I designed these happy dancing sock monkeys for a customer over a month ago, and I’ve been meaning to share them! I forgot to take photos of the finished glasses because I was so eager to ship them out (they were wedding gifts), but I’m thinking about adding them to our regular inventory for next year. What do you think?
Almost a year ago, I made a very special pair of wine glasses for a couple to use at their wedding. I found a nice pair of thrift store glasses that deserved a new life, and came up with this intertwined tree design to put on them. It was the bride’s idea to have this image of the trees embracing each other, and I fell in love with the idea. I decided to hand-engrave the artwork using my rotary tool, instead of sandblasting them, which is easier to do on the curved surface of a wine glass, and would really infuse each piece with its own character.
These are some photos taken at their wedding (used with permission).
Here are two more custom projects we recently finished for fall weddings.
This was a special request for a beard design (which I love!), to be given as groomsmen gifts. Of course, the bride and groom wanted a set for themselves as well. ;) I’d love to make more of these if people want them, but we probably won’t add them to our regular inventory unless there are a lot of requests.
This pair of pint glasses was a wedding present for the happy couple. I created the stencil based on the colorful cut-paper wedding invitation the groom created. It was tough to turn such a fantastically textured and detailed design into something small just made up of positive and negative space, but I think it turned out really nicely. It was hard to photograph since the back had a date on it and kept showing through the front of the glass. Here’s a link to the original artwork image if yo want to see what I was working with:
