Golden Mosaic On The Fly

Posted September 27th, 2009 at 6:30 pm in Crafters Gallery

This little bug critter is actually a caddis fly larvae who has used precious and semi-precious materials to make a protective casing for itself. The gold flakes, the pearl-like pieces, and the other bug bling materials were provided by French artist and naturalist Hubert Duprat. The design itself is by the fly.

I thought these looked like works of art and deserving of a spot in the Crafter's Gallery.

Giant Margarita Glass Boosts Tips At Mexican Restaurant Bar

Posted September 24th, 2009 at 9:21 pm in Crafters Gallery

I have received so many nice comments about the giant martini glass in my last post for the Grafters Gallery that I thought I would share the margarita glass I made as well. I made it especially for the bar of a Mexican restaurant so that the bartenders would make lots of tips. When it sits on a lighted base behind the bar it really gets peoples attention.

What bartender out there wants to double their tips?

Giant Martini Glass A Hit With Bartenders

Posted September 10th, 2009 at 2:53 pm in Crafters Gallery

I made this giant martini glass with colored glass beads and the raw glass itself purchased from Michaels arts and craft store in Scottsdale, Arizona. It came out looking great with a flower pattern made of rich, dark reds and blues and when it's lit up from below in a dark pub, bartenders call it the "perfect tip jar."
