My Calligrams

Firstly to make this calligram I chose an object to draw and base my words on, so I decided to use the wine glass.

I tried to give it an extra effect by writing the words in the shape of each section of the glass. For example: I wrote the word bubble in a curved way to show the shape of the section that holds the drink.
