Best accident ever.  True story.  I got a commission for Princess Mononoke wineglasses of the tree spirits and I had them painted on the glasses themselves… then they got broken (the box fell, something, I don’t even remember).  The only thing that survived was the base of the glass.  At the time, these were much rounder wineglasses and the store I got them from didn’t have them anymore.

They had this style instead.

I immediately fell in love with this style and thought, “What if I painted the tree at the bottom of the glass and made the stem brown?”  I sent the person who ordered them a picture and she loved them.  

So yeah, best accident ever.
