Vino, Anybody?

I've been making these for several years [although the design has changed slightly over the years] ... but NOW, for the fist time, I've made them available in my Etsy shop. This is a trial thing. I have 2 in the shop at the moment, but before the holiday shopping season is done, I will have 4 available [if needed]. We'll see how they do. Custom artwork is always more time consuming ... but these are also some of my most popular items & the holidays are a popular time for them. Testing it out ... consider it a Wine Tasting. ;)

Wine Bottle ...

My friend Nikki asked me to do a wine bottle canvas for her to give as a wedding gift. She gave me the couple's website to go to for 'inspiration' ... and I was glad she did. I usually just do a generic fleur-de-lis or grapes on the wine bottle label [just as decoration], but on the couple's site they talked a lot about a symbol that they had used on their invitations, etc. The Koru. It symbolizes new life. Such a cool, yet simple design ... it was perfect.

Like a Fine Wine ...

[since they are both gifts which haven't been given].

I have been doing a lot of custom work lately ... most of which are gifts & surprises?  So, not a lot of cREaTe work to show [which is why you're seeing things "around the house" such as ... Libby's new bed; New front door; Oh and a painted table.  But as soon as I can show you another custom painting, I will.  

Earlier this week, I mailed off two wine bottle canvases.  I would love to offer these on Etsy.  I would have it all completed except for a blank label ... waiting to be personalized with initials, last name, dates & location.  I think I can pull that off ... but we'll see how well they go over.  cREaTe didn't have too much luck in the "waiting to be personalized" department before.  :)  ha 

Wine Bottles x 3

Just finished up an order... 3 personalized wine bottles.
[I have digitally scratched out the names, dates & location - shhh it's a surprise 'til Dec.25!]

I think this may be my best batch yet!

Wine Bottle Canvases

In case you didn't get the memo... I've added a page for the Wine Bottle Canvases again.

Back when I simplified my site & did some restructuring... they seemed to have lost their place on my site. They never went away, they just weren't linked up to current pages on my site. But I just did one recently & decided I need to bring them back.

You can find them here. :)
