Book review (kind of): Pattern Sheets Hand Glass Engraving Swiss Technique [Loose Leaf]

All images are © to T.Bolliger 1984

I got these as a gift lat week and liked them. Though I tend to like the intaglio engraving more, this is a good way to get an idea of shading and light and how to acquire that look when doing surface engraving.

These sheets have absolutely no instructions, there are just lose sheets for you to use. The number of sheets is 11. Here is an amazon.com link if you are interested in getting it:

I got # TB-P2 (which has 11 sheets shown in the link above and of course I am giving you some large images here so you can appreciate them)

It very much reminds me of the book :

Glass Engraving Course and Patterns by Eastern Publishing


Which I have reviewed here: http://glassengravers.blogspot.com/2011/09/book-review-glass-engraving-bourse-and.html
It has great instructions and a very nice little book =) You can buy it on amazon.com also : http://www.amazon.com/Glass-Engraving-Course-Patterns-Diamond/dp/B004US0OVS/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1336664613&sr=1-2
