More Pics Added to the Gallery Page Today

I have just added some new pics to the gallery page.  The graduation glass shown here is just one of the new photos added today.

New Picture of Wedding Flutes Added to Gallery Page

I managed to get this photo taken just before putting the glasses in the mail today *smiles*... It shows the engraving of the foot of each glass, unfortunately it still doesn't show the detail of the roses and rings as well as I would have liked.

Latest Engraving - Wedding Flutes

This is my lastest engraving... I will put up a better photo once the batteries for the camera have had time to recharge *giggles*... Polishing/smoothing techniques have been used on the rose buds and rings to give some depth to the graphics... and the date of the wedding is engraved on the foot of each flute... unfortunately this photo does not do them justice :-(

A Great Tragedy!!!

As the hearts of New Zealand go out to the families, friends, and workmates of the men lost in the Pike River Coal Mine, with a 2 minute silence at 2pm this afternoon, I extend my sympathy to all of those affected by this great tragedy.

Their memory will be etched in our history forever!!
