Glassartist 46 Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 This is a 7 inch optical crystal block hand engraved front and back to give a 3D effect -the fox and scenery are engraved on the back and pheasant and some vegetation on the front . This block is wedge shaped so it is free standing. All my engraving is deeply engraved using a dental drill with diamond burrs, stone burrs, and polishers, every piece is a unique piece of art. this is the equipement I use for the engraving 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Glassartist 46 Posted February 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 I think this piece(BiCentenary of the Battle of Trafalgar) is the best one I have done-it's called "cased crystal" this is where the large chalice is made in clear crystal, then encased in cobalt blue crystal, so when blown into the shape there is a fairly even layer of the blue crystal on the outside of the piece to a thickness of about an eighth of an inch. The engraving is carried out at different depths so that the blue becomes lighter the deeper you go ,and in some places cutting through the blue and into the clear to give white, This takes a very long time to do and is a real collectors piece, I sold it to a collector a few years ago 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tommy.H 0 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Fantastic stuff. The fox piece is worth the asking price. It's a pity I don't have it. Keep doing what your doing it's just incredible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
