Every year the group of ladies with who I love to paint host a fundraising luncheon. The Harbourside Painters organized a lovely lunch, 16 table of 10 per table, each table is hosted by a member. The member chooses a theme and then paints to her hearts content in that theme stream. While I'm not a member, my friend Ruth and I hosted a table. Our theme was the language of flowers. We painted wine glasses and martini glasses, and although no alcohol was served at the lunch the glasses got a testing. The martini glasses served as candy dishes and the wine glasses as punch cups. I also painted lovely little pocket compact mirrors with monograms. Above and beyond all this, we had a great time.

We had a wonderful time!!! The painted mirror compacts and glasses were absolutely gorgeous. The company and lunch fabulous. Thank you Irene and Ruth.
Your group sounds like so much fun!! I think it's awesome that you and Ruth hosted a table, and I love the way you decorated the glasses and dishes! I think I should find a group to join.
I LOVE those flower glasses! What a fun idea to brighten up a party. What kind of paint do you use? Acrylic?
hi Trish, I used Americana, Deco Art multi surface paints. Which is indeed acrylic but you must bake them when you finish painting and use as little water as possible. I put them in the oven on a cookie tray, brought the oven to 325degrees for 1/2hr. and let them cool also in the oven with the door open. They are painted on the outside of the vessel.
Sounds like so much fun! Have a great week. Blessings, Martha

I would've been so intimidated in a roomful of artistic talent like that, I wouldn't have been able to eat, dear Irene. Wait ... no, I would've been able to eat AND enjoy all the gorgeous painting. I really like those glasses. Unique! xoxo
