Handpainted Eyeglasses

Artful Sun Shields and Readers by Karin Frye

Karin Frye handpaints sunglasses and reading glasses with colorful geometric designs. The eyewear is available in a number of styles and the readers are available in different magnification strengths. A hand-sewn carrying case is included to help protect the lens and the painted finish.

The sunglasses are great for folks of any age and as most people over 40 know, the readers are a must-have. So why not have a little fun when your arms grow too short to move your reading material far enough away to see?
