Painted Lace features the creations of Gabrielle Nemes, a decorative painting artist living in Auburn, Washington. These unique and exquisite glass ornaments are individually designed, hand painted, and available in a very limited number each year. Most of these beautiful surfaces are hand blown and imported from Europe. Even before painting, they are unique and delicate. Visit the gallery for a look at a few of these intricate pieces. To purchase an individually painted ornament for yourself, visit the painted ornaments page.

A few of the designs for Gabrielle's ornaments are in continual demand and have now been published into patterns so that you can paint these ornaments yourself. The patterns fully document each of the steps necessary to create the design and include full-color photographs of each procedure. There are also some lacy designs that are not ornaments!

In addition to lovely ornaments, hand-crafted multi-sided wood boxes and trays are available for you to paint or stain with a design that features your own taste and specifications. These boxes and trays are beautiful clear woods, perfectly made, finely sanded, and ready to finish. They're perfect for jewelry boxes, keepsake boxes, and dresser or desk organizers. Paint or finish them in children's designs and they become perfect additions for storing precious collections.
