My second Cup I flopped a couple of times, and I have found that sometimes the simplest cups can be the most difficult. I started with acrylic inks mixed with epoxy; which looked amazing but chime the "trial and error bell," Acrylic mixed in epoxy seems to dry faster then expected and as I let it turn I tried to add more acrylic ink and it no longer wanted to "flow." So had to strip it. Then I went to an acrylic pour, what can I say, I hated it, didn't have the look I wanted, so second go was striped... So now we get to the third and final, I wanted something a little darker almost a royal blue so I went back to the good ol' alcohol inks and was able to achieve the look I was going for. After adding a little extra darker blue ink the cup was ready to dry. One more learned lesson was do not use a heat gun once the epoxy has started to cure. I ended up having large diviets that had to be sanded out. Once sanded and washed it w...
What is a Diva? Well after looking it up, a dive can be anything from a female performer, used to describe a person who has great style and personality with confidence or just a down right bitch. Lets be honest, we all know at least 2 out of the three and there are many more descriptions of "DIVA" out there. What is my point, one word has many meanings and in this case, these custom bags were made for a "DIVA," her mother and 2 girls and in no way is it a negative thing.

So, why not celebrate it with your very own custom bag!! These pink drawstring bags are in 2 sizes, large for adults and small for the children. Gold lettering and for the adult women, a be...
I am not a deeply religious person but I am proud to say I believe in God. I have the mouth of a sailor on my worse days and I am a sinner like everyone else. I have had too many little miracles in my life not too believe, along with hearing the messages that are being sent to me. Where am I going with these? I recently received an order for a bag and she requested a bible verse, Jeremiah 29:11 , now I have not read the bible so I had no clue what this verse was until I looked it up.....and there is was, it was my motivation, a message for me. " For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." So why does this mean anything to me, I just recently started my own little business and things are a little slow going so when I read this message it hit home, it is telling me not to give up, keep pushing and stay positive. My advice to all of those around me is this: Stop ...
