First Etsy Glass Artist Monthy Challenge


This month the Etsy Glass Artists Street Team (EGA) had it's first monthy challenge. This months creative came from the movie Cabaret. The movie can be pretty sad, so I decided to take my interpretation just from the song Cabaret so I could create something happy and fun!

This was my creative reasoning....

Life is a cabaret!
It's a game, a party, it's part of a play, a musical, a dance.
We're a scene in the play of life and your destiny is up to you.
No second chances, don't complain, have some fun!
So do what what lights your candle.
Don't worry about what people think, it's your life, so live it!
Have no regrets!!

It made me think of the e-mail joke that comes around every now and then showing a 90 year old lady sliding through the pearly gates in stilettos, holding a martini screaming wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee that was fun!
The e-mail has a caption something like "this is how I want to go out!"

Having come up with that image I fixated on martinis and tiaras (or dancers headdresses) and how I could glassify that! And having limited skills I had to adapt that into something I could actually make :-)

So I made glitzy martini glass charms that when seen together have a headdress feel.
