Crystal slab, outline of chickadee & lilacs
This was so fun to do! I got to really make the 3D look for the birds body and the flowers and leaves. Engraving deep is a heady experience!

Sketch for the peacock on a bottle
This was a vodka bottle that I just loved. Yes, we emptied it.... then to decide what to do? It makes a wonderful decanter or piece of decor. Took a lot of days to get this one finished.
Peacock is all done!

I get asked to do commission constantly, and dogs are the most popular choice. They look a little spooky at first!
