Hand-painted stained glass bookmarks

Fri Nov 24, 2006, 11:29 PM
Hi, everyone and anyone who bothers to read this new entry. Listen, I need your opinion on something. Actually, on Bookmarks. My mother and I paint stained glass bookmarks. She's been doing it for around four years, selling them on a Asia-Pacific Cruise Liner weighing 76-gross tonnes. I've been doing it for one. It kind of became our family business.

The bookmarks are painted with embossing paint and glass paint on a processed rubber leaf which has been laminated(That makes it waterproof). Before any of you start thinking that the rubber leaf is an artificial leaf, I would just like to say that it is not. It is a natural leaf from the rubber tree, its just been processed. It takes about two weeks to a month to process a single leaf. What you see in the examples below are the skeletons of the rubber leaves...

It takes lots of time to paint one bookmark. Sometimes I spend ten minutes just to get the lines right. (It's difficult to draw with embossing paint. Try using a normal ballpoint pen on glass. It's that slippery...)

Here are the examples
A Santa Claus Bookmark by my mom

A dove bookmark by mom

Okay, this one's done by me. A bookmark of a chick which is halfway out of an egg...

If one bookmark cost US$4 plus a shipping cost of up to US$2.50. Will you buy it? Please comment and send me some feedback...
