Hello World!

Welcome to Brusheswithaview , My name is Ann Yaconis, Many people ask how did I get started painting glasses, Well back in June I was browsing through Pinterest and stumbled upon a painted chalkboard glass , It was my best friends birthday coming up So I though  I would give it a try. The following months I made several more to give away  as gifts .  I taught myself the technique how  to paint  glass  with the help of some artists on you tube and by reading many, many web sites on how to do it and make it permanent.  Lot of paint and paper later and glasses .  I felt confident enough to show my work to others. With the nudge from my friend I decided to sell them . My good friend owns a bakery I have many there  on display , Several have sold there and Wow it amazes me that people actually like my work . So now its September 29 , I have done  one show in Pequannock and through word of mouth  business was starting to take off,  I have done many glasses for my customers, from custom orders to basic floral patterns. Every glass I paint becomes a challenge to make it look better than my last. I feel very rewarded when a customer or friend says wow you painted that ...
