  Custom made Monday!
I just finished up a custom order for an old friend who now lives in sunny Florida! I love doing custom orders and trying new ideas, and making them come to life! I especially love sending previews to my customers, and finding that I made exactly what they wanted!
  Here are the three that she ordered

  The first one, is for her husband. He was really into roller-skating, once upon a time, and received trophies and medals in competitions. Here are pictures of the front and the back.

 
The second glass was for her mother in law, who loves to visit them, sit on the beach, and enjoy the ocean... who wouldn't!! The image continues all around the glass, with palm trees all around... You can almost hear the waves hit the ocean and feel the warm sand...
 
The last glass was just for her. She and her family are vegetarians, and she leans more toward a vegan lifestyle, she asked to have a glass  covered with fruits and vegetables and this is what I came up with... she loved it!
 




 
These were so much fun, I cant wait until my next special order!!

 I'm spending this chilly day up in my studio. Working on some new designs, I can't wait to share them! I doing a couple wedding sets, and some cute glasses for summer! A girl can dream  of warm weather... 
 Here are some of the new glasses from My Shards of Glass!

A custom order swirl bridal set. I offer these in any color, so they tend to be popular :-)


Another set I  just finished, I just love the way these turned out! They have a light pink base, with a gold lace overlay. The texture is amazing! I see these fitting perfectly in a vintage or rustic themed wedding! Or for any special occasion! They will be added to my Etsy shop soon!




I'm still working on my new summer glasses, my first margarita glasses!! Coming soon!!

Welcome to My Shards of Glass!

  I guess I will take a minute to introduce myself... my name is Krystal and I run a Etsy shop called My Shards of Glass It started out as a hobby, to relieve stress, ease the mind... when I started showing my creations to friends and family, they started ordering! It has been quite a journey so far, and it has only just begun!!
  Around January this year I added a vintage area to my shop. This is so much fun! I really enjoy my treasure hunting days! I try to get items I think are unique and beautiful... and to be honest, a lot of them stay with me... :-)

  Here is a look at some of my painted creations, most of these are new for spring...(the flamingo is my favorite, but don't tell the others)
 
Though it is really hard to pick a favorite from my vintage area... yeah, way too hard... these two are tied for first!
 
 The first picture is an adorable pitcher and basin set that measures only 5 inches high, it is so cute! That one almost didn't make it to listing!
The second picture is a set of teacups that have amazing detail! The pattern on these glasses is called Kings crown, and I think they are perfect for any princess!
 
 
 I want to say thank you for stopping by, feel free to visit my shop and have a look around!
