is your text all done freehand Jean ? its very neat,lovely work x suzi g
ReplyDeleteHi Suzi, thank you for your kind comment!!! I use a printed guide placed behind the glass, then hand trace the lettering on the glass and then use a hand held drill to engrave the lettering... it's a bit of a process, but I found it the most accurate way to do hand lettering (for me anyways *smiles*). Cheers!!
ReplyDeleteJim Ross sent me here to see your work. He was bragging to me about it. I can see why. Wonderful work. Detailed and exquisite. Jill Gaebel (ajillart....zazzle)
ReplyDeleteThank you Jill *smiles*
ReplyDeleteHow do you order?
ReplyDeleteHi there Lisa, the best way to contact me to place an order is to go to my JeansArt Glass Engraving facebook page (there is a link to the page on the top right hand corner of this page) and leave me a message, my reply may go into your "others" messages folder, so do watch for it there :-) Cheers!! Jean
DeleteI notice you say they are drilled and hand engraved. What's the difference sorry I am new to engraving and would love to be able to do what you do.
ReplyDeleteHi there Dominic, thank you for your kind comment!! As I understand it hand engraving means using the burs either in a holder, or without a holder, directly in the hand (no drill is used), drill engraving, of course, uses the aid of an electric drill (often people will say "hand engraved" when it would be more correct to say "drill engraved"... I will often pick up a bur and use it directly in my hand when trying to get a gentle transition in shades. Hoping that answers your question :-) Cheers!!
DeleteI'm so happy to have come across Your site.I have just started working with glass.and liked how its turning out.but was really wanting to get some ideas of how to do some fine shading.and here you are.you are truly amazing.thank you so much for sharing your art and knowledge.I love art what a great feeling we get doing it.looking at your work puts a big smile on my face.I will not stop trying to get to the level you are at.but even if I don't quite make it.I know I will enjoy the ride.thanks
ReplyDeleteThank you for your very kind comments Richard... I love to engrave glass... I am still learning and hope to continue to do so for the rest of my engraving days :-) Have fun with your engraving and always remain open to trying different burs and techniques!! :-)
DeleteJean I enjoy looking a your work. Do you know of a USA supplier for the rubber bullets to fit a Dremel used for shading on hard glass? thank you
