Also new for me I was commisioned to engrave mermaids. The first two were quite challenging getting everything together but once j got the hang of it I really liked them! I did a few After for sale and they are also available on My website at AkokoArt.com or at Amazon. Below are pictures of the mermaids on wine glasses. I was quiet pleased with the mermaids and As you are aware I can engrave them on any type of glass you want....

 

This year I've had more commissions than ever which is a good thing! One of my pieces was commissioned by long time collector Roger. Gifted to Florence Henderson from the Brady Bunch!

Florence Henderson is an American actress and singer. She is best known for her role as matriarch Carol Brady on the ABC sitcom The Brady Bunch. Thank you Roger and Flo for the lovely photo!

New Floral Collection ready for the Fall.

Wow, Summer is over....

It's amazing how much I look forward to summer and all the fun in the sun and then it's over before I completely and fully embrace it. I must admit am not crazy about Fall..the cold nights short days and layering clothes..the list goes on

 This summer I started a new floral collection. I have gotten great reviews on the collection which includes wine glasses, toasting flutes, perfume bottles and more. 

Below are a few pics from the collection
