These glasses are beautiful! They are artwork. I love everyone about them. The artist even sent me a thank you card and a post card from where they live. Such a kind touch.

These just might be the ultimate party glasses, with the multicolor swirls mimicking the sights of dancing and mingling. This set of 6 recycled glass tumblers is the creation of Mexico-based Lulu and Daniel, who work to take their region's glass making traditions and update them.

"Having the opportunity to work with such a moldable product in all its forms as glass becomes a wonderful opportunity to create something completely original.
"It is so satisfying to work with a product that represents a millenary art, not only because of the marked significance that it has had over the years. Though it has been made in different countries of the world, it has become a Mexican handicraft. And Mexico, rich in culture and history, provides us as artists with enough means to obtain inspiration and show the world this art in its different styles.
"I have known glass for years. It took a lot of practice and mistakes to be able to handle it and improve every day. Glass is a material that, once you know it, is so friendly and easy to handle. I particularly like working with recycled glass fragments, melting it at a temperature of 1300 c and adding color with oxides.
"This process allows me to work on 80% of the design and elaboration. Although it is a challenge to give it a current style, it is pleasant to be part of the elaboration process.
I like to focus on each moment find ways to solve the moments that are difficult, and in this way focus on building a happy future.""
