Christmas Revisited: The Martini Man

AV's dad is known as The Martini Man; he creates and shakes his own martinis. He even has a website! When we set up the website, I designed the sweet logo!

 But the fun doesn't stop there...

For Christmas, I made a set of special Martini Man martini glasses! I bought a set of four martini glasses from Target (or maybe it was Walmart?) and used bakeable glass paint.

Ta-da! Color-fast and hand-washable!


Each glass has a different color base. There is actually only one line of color which then reflects up through the stem.

The Martini Man logo is painted on the outside of the glass so it will be seen as the drink level shrinks!

Cheers,
Red



How I did it:
Clean and dry glassware
Using Pebo Vitrea 160 glass paint, paint designs normally.
Let dry completely.
Bake for 40 minutes at 325 degrees F
      Put glass in oven
      Turn oven on to 325 degrees F
      Bake for 40 minutes
      Leave glass in oven as oven cools
      Take glass out when it is at a safe handling temperature
