Polymer is such fun! As you know, it is so versatile, it seems as though just about anything you can think up is possible with polymer. Today, I had the pleasure of teaching a workshop on decorating wine glasses with polymer. The participants did quite well, and I really enjoyed seeing their ideas and what they designed. These decorated wine glasses are hand washable and have several possible uses. If the polymer design is somewhat solid and strong, and is away from the rim of the glass, the wine glass can be used to hold a drink. They also make a lovely gift to be used or just appreciated. I have a couple of samples to share with you here. I'm still working on another one, and will post it when completed.
This teal wine glass was decorated with leaves made from colored clay. I enhanced some of the leaves with mica powders, adding more color and some shine.
The gold and black rose design below just decorates the bottom of the wine glass. Placement of the design is up to the artist, adding to the interest and beauty of these pieces.
