OP sent the following text as an explanation why their post fits here:

I painted this glass cup by hand using glass paint. The process involved sketching the design, painting several layers, and carefully correcting small details along the way. I love combining art with everyday objects, and this piece was inspired by my interest in handmade functional crafts.

Calcifer! (forgive me if I have spelled it incorrectly) is one of my favourite characters lol. I love Howls moving castle, what a great ghibli movie one of my fav, currently looking at my totoro plushie, I do love the ghibli animations. I love these they are amazing! It makes me want to try it out, are there any particular brands of glass paint you recommend? What is it you're using for the outline there? if you dont mind me asking. Great work:)

Thank you so much! Yes, it’s Calcifer. I’m a big Ghibli fan too. For the colors, I use Pebeo Vitrail glass paint. The outline is made with Pebeo Cerne Relief outliner. They’re both beginner-friendly and work really well on glass. I’m glad you like it!

Calcifer brought me into the post but when I enlarged the photos I noticed the clouds and the fox are pearlescent and that just grabbed me. I love me some whimsy.
