2020 started off like any other year. I had plans to do the same things I have always done. Invitations to my son’s third birthday party were just sent out and my mother was celebrating her 67th birthday when the country shut down! Like everyone else I was devasted that our lives just stopped. What was I going to do with my time?? Well at this point I had watched hundreds of hours of tumbler tutorial videos and dreamed of making them myself one day and I decided now is the time to do what I have always wanted to do! So, I bought all the “stuff” to make cups, and there is a lot of stuff! I LOVE making these cups! I still have some of my first failed cups as a reminder that I have come a long way. I have suffered from anxiety, depression, and alcoholism in my life so being creative leaves my mind free of wondering. I need to be creative to keep myself sane. Each and every cup is a personal triumph and I am honored to teach you how I make these tumblers.
