      You bet! I have all of the waves, cupcakes and rockets done except yours! Your cupcake needed the grape icing and the color was backordered at my glass supplier. They've just shipped it, so I'll be making your cupcake this week and should ship everything by the end of the week!

    WAVE LEVEL - Moon Level PLUS A blown glass "Cresting Wave" sculpture! Ahhh.. I just love these waves. They're so wonderful to make and they come out just beautiful, with the deep ocean colors inside and the white and clear foam on the top. Mmmm... Love them!

    JUMBO CUPCAKE LEVEL - Ornament Level PLUS A blown glass JUMBO cupcake in your favorite color, or favorite flavor, OR, if you're not into cupcakes, a blown glass "Earth" winestopper! These huge cupcakes can have the same color choices of the regular sized cupcakes above. The Earth winestopper has the deep ocean colors, then several layers of white clouds intermixed with clear crystal so that the clouds truly "float" above the ocean. Very cool to look at as the clouds seem to move across the surface of the Earth.

The cupcakes don't have to be the same color. You could get a blue jumbo and a yellow regular, or a Red Velvet jumbo and a lemon regular. The Earth paperweight is about 3 inch diameter and has the same build up of clouds as the smaller winestopper. It can also be set on a nightlight.

    EARTH LEVEL - Sun Level PLUS One of our gorgeous "Floating Earth" sculptures, OR a "Cradled Earth" sculpture! Either of these sculptures would be amazing. The Floating Earth uses cast and molded glass, and the Cradled Earth is all hand blown. Both are fun to make, both are beautiful to have. Hmmm... maybe you should get two of this level and get them both!!

    SATURN LEVEL - Sun Level PLUS An absolutely beautiful blown glass Saturn!! This is just spectacular with the colors and swirls of storms, and the rings are made with an iridescence on them that makes them shimmer in the light. This can be used on a lighted base to make it really amazing. This is a similar artwork to the ones that are owned by Stephen Hawking and James Cameron! Theirs are the Planetary Society's Cosmos Award, so we want to keep that award special, but yours will be incredible too! It's made scientifically accurate - the planet is oblate, the rings are to size and etched from Cassini data. What a stunning piece!!
