I haven't gotten excited about a listing in awhile, but I had so much fun creating my newest shop addition. I spent all day cutting and scrubbing old wine bottles. This evening I took my Dremel to them and polished the edges and decided to get a bit creative. Actually, it was a bit of an accident, but I really got into it!
My newest creation is titled Etched Glass Garden Kit and consists of an upcycled wine bottle that I casually etched some thick, wavy lines into. It's being paired with a small pack of dwarf sunflower seeds.
I'm pleased with how it turned out and enjoyed going with my urge and creating something so fun. In fact, I may go and try out a new idea in a minute!
Has anyone else gotten excited about a creation recently? Did it inspire you and give you other ideas? Tell me about it!

Can you show us a picture of your creation? I'd like to see what it looks like!

Here's the one that's currently featured in my shop. I just made two others in green glass bottles of different sizes -- one says 'herbs' and the other 'basil'.

Yeah, me too. I was trying to picture it in my head earlier.

My muse seems to have taken an extended leave of absence. I haven't gotten excited about creating anything all summer. It seems the yard and other basic necessities have occupied my time.
I'm very impressed with your upcycled glass. Very creative. Keep up the good work.

I hope your muse is back soon! I hate it when real life slows down creativity.
Thanks for the compliment!

I got very excited about a project a while back. I was asked if I would be interested in creating the art for the cover of a book. I have been working on it for six weeks now, and I am feeling burned out. I was inspired by the stories. I got the ideas I need, but I just can't seem to get it just right. The book is finished, and now it is waiting for me to finish up.

Wow! That's a pretty awesome project! I hate it when things don't translate from mind to material correctly, and I hope you get it just right soon.

*S* Thanks. I think I am just about finished with it.
