New Items Added To Sand-Carved Page

Commissioned piece:
The butterflies have been sand-carved in 2 stages to give a darker shade to the filled in areas in the butterflies.
More examples of sand-carved items can be viewed on the Sand-Carved page. 

Quite a few of my customers have asked if can put the cake toppers on a base (rather than having a spike to secure them in the cake)... now I can :-)

Here's a couple of new designs with Kiwiana type graphics.  These are crafted (by me) from 3mm acrylic and the graphics and personalised messages are sand-carved.

Drill and Hand Engraved Crystal Perfume Bottle

Firstly I must apologise for the quality of this photo, this was particularly tricky to get a good picture of.

Lovely little crystal perfume bottle, drill and hand engraved with a kiss (the pair of lips) and a rose using "shaded" engraving techniques.

The facets cut on the bottle added an extra challenge to engraving this, but it was not insurmountable, and I'm pleased with the final result.

New Designs for Champagne Flutes

These new JeansArt designs have just been added to our standard options.

The lettering and small swirls graphic are single stage sand-carved and the butterfly and hearts graphics have been sand-carved in 2 stages with the "filled in" areas being lightly polished out by hand to give a different texture and shade to the engraving, I feel this adds a little more interest to the engraving.

More sand-carved options can be viewed on the Sand-Carving Page.
