The artist Thomas Glenn puts his personal touch on every detail of his extraordinary product line. Each ornament begins with an inspiration and is sketched on paper to perfection. Upon completion of his design, Thomas creates a hand carved model for the master mold making process. Each ornament is then hand-made, one-by-one, under his direction in Europe. Thomas holds a Master Degree in Painting and he is one of the first trompe l’oeil artists. His extensive career in home decor has led him to develop his collection and to be named the”Haute Couture designer of Christmas”. His ornaments have been featured on the Good Morning America show and in national publications including House and Garden and Domino magazines.

Be bold! Reminiscent of Thomas Glenn’s original canvases, this 120 mm ball shouts “Notice me!” The satin fuchsia ball pops with irregular rings of glittered color. It’s a very contemporary design suitable for display as a work of art throughout the year.
With its metallics and jewel tones, Orange Blossom mixes traditional floral motifs with 21st century colors and technology. Traditional silver glitter defines the silver and blue flower designs. If you look closely, you spot the tiny gold micro beads that ornament the other areas of the overall pattern. It’s a stunning addition to any collection.
The vibrant colors in this crazy quilt design will draw holiday visitors for a closer look. The individual “patchwork” scraps are edged with bright white glitter. Overall, the ball is finished with a light kiss of shimmery mica, guaranteed to reflect the tree lights. Enjoy this contemporary interpretation of an American classic.

Here’s the JingleNog family in their Atlanta exhibit today. That’s Jim, Katie and founder Melissa Byrne. Melissa debuted some fabulous new styles as mid-year introductions. Photos to follow!
You can view the line at the company web site: www.jinglenog.com.
Hi everyone! This is a very tired reporter from Atlanta. What a LONG but EXCITING day. I began with a 9 AM appointment at the Inge-glas showroom. Everything you’ve heard on the Glass Links mail list about the new line is absolutely true! There are some fabulous new techniques, introduction of ornaments using the company’s stock of over 10,000 antique German molds, and some yummie additions to the food and wine collection.
Klaus and Birgit will be on hand Friday and Saturday. The showroom will also host one of the company’s artists. She’ll the new “Life Touch” painting technique. Of course, I will be there with camera in hand! The delicate tonal shadings painters achieve with this new technique are incredible … so very “life-like” … hence the name.
Now, here’s the yummy goodies! There are a series of ornaments that appear to have been created with chocolate molds. The satiny paint finish makes these sweet treats seem to realistic, I was also tempted to nibble!
Inge-glas has also added an entire line of fine wines and cheeses. The cheeses actually have paper labels. I swear you could almost smell them!
