Personalised Wine Glasses
by admin ~ August 19th, 2009. Filed under: Personalized Wine Glasses.When you are looking for that special present for somebody then obviously a set of Hand Painted Wine Glasses can be considered an excellent present. However you can make them even more special by personalising wine glasses for spcific interests that the recipient may have.
Personalised wine glasses can come in many forms from the simple initialling of the wine glasses with stenciled letters to the more elaborate portraits of the recipient. It really depends on how cheesy you want the gift to be.
How to choose the theme for the personalisation of the glasses is relatively simple. You need to think about the preferences of the person who will be receiving the gift, their interests, what they love to do, how old they are, what they will be using the glasses for and where they will probably be displayed are just some of the considerations.
I like to personalise wine glasses by doing a combination method, using rather elaborate writing for the initials of the recipient, or the full name if it is not too long, and adding a design around it. That design can depend on the name or initials or can be totally independent of them. My personal preference is to incorporate the letters or name into the design so that it all flows naturally.
The painting of portraits is fraught with probelms as the term “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” has never been more relevant. People have an idea of what they look like and you can clash with that self image when painting their portrait so it is best to avoid this in order to avoid disappointment (Also your art skills or those of the artist commissioned to do it need to be stunning)
So a couple of suggestions to finish off when hand painting wine glasses. My personal preference is to use initials rather than names. Get a design that complements the letters well. Combine the two into an excellent and flowing design. If this sounds too much like hard work or even if that is not within your scope then choose a gift using the same criteria. The majority of companies producing hand painted wine glasses will work with your requests.
Happy designing.
