This Beauty was a gift for a fun loving woman who loves mystical creatures, so what better then a tumbler that resembles a dragon. This cup was a little time consuming, each scale was placed individually, painted, then epoxied with a chameleon powder to give it that pretty color changing effect.

My second Cup I flopped a couple of times, and I have found that sometimes the simplest cups can be the most difficult.

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...

I know, I know there are a lot of crafters out there that have picked up this craft but to be honest it can be a very satisfying craft. I tried my hand at this craft a little over a year ago and bomb on the first cup so I threw in the towel, I didn't have the right tools nor the patients so at the time it wasn't for me. Fast forward to a couple of months ago I asked for a tumbler turner for my birthday and got it, This is where the journey has begun. I have been able to create some pretty awesome cups since then. I know there are many different techniques to learn along with experimenting with a few ideas. I have made some amazing gifts for people. I am not going to post all my cups in this one post but I am going to show you where I started on this journey. I have not done what I have seen so many others do and go c...
