My passion is hand painted glassware of my own designs and like many artists I am self taught. I have always wished I had some artistic ability but since I can't draw a stick person to look like a stick person I never dreamed I had the talent to paint until I picked up a brush dabbed it in paint and created my first piece in June 2010 All of those first pieces have been scrapped because as a perfectionist I knew that while they had potential they weren't up to my exacting standards. And with every piece I create I love what I do more and more.

Each item is painted free-hand style which means that while a basic pattern will be carried to several pieces no two pieces will be exactly the same and every piece is its own unique "work of art". Each piece of glass tells me what it wants to be...some want lots of design while others feel that "less is more". And every design develops as I paint it - I do not use any stencils.

The paint is heat-set for durability and rated dishwasher safe top rack but I strongly recommend hand washing in mild soap no harsh chemicals and do not allow items to soak in water to preserve the brilliance of the colors.

I also do custom orders for specific colors and have a very extensive rainbow of colors. I do a lot of mixing of colors to create just the right shade I'm looking for so my rainbow is limited only by your imagination.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read about me and visiting my ArtFire store. If you have any questions please contact me at Barbara@EverMyHart.com.
