I cam across Terri's work through my good friend Zoltan a few months ago, I wrote Terri and asked if we could feature her on our blog and she said yes! Here are some links so you can read some more about this talented woman, and some of the photos she has shared with me.

One of my all time favourite pieces....

This is one of my favourite pieces. It was done by one of my good friends and one of the best engravers in the world. Mr. Zoltan Viczan. I love this piece because it is simple and delicate and the hands are beautifully engraved. It is simply breath taking.

Up-close and personal with the masterful details of Viczan Zoltan

Please pay close attention to the wings, and how the legs of the subject softly touch the leaf where it stands (photos 4 & 5) , as well the the amazing polishing on the second photo. The entire plate was engraved by Viczan and you can see a before and after photo on his web site.

I wanted to make a second post about the artist featured last week, because I own two of his pieces and I wanted to share them with you all.

One of the reasons I love the beautiful work of Viczan is the sweet soft touch done in the pieces he creates. To me; as an artist... it is quiet important that something looks as good up close as it will from far away. I got this beautiful piece from Viczan; and I can tell you that it is even more stunning when seen in person. Here are some beautiful detail photos so you can appreciate it. Please visit his web site, and subscribe to the blog. I have no more words to introduce the spellbinding and orgasmic feast to the eyes given by such wonderful artist....

The masterful details of Viczan Zoltan

All images are © to Viczan Zoltan, and have been used with his permission.

When I first saw the engravings of Viczan Zoltan, I was impressed by the clean beautiful cuts and details added not only to the animals he engraves, but to the human figures. His glass cuts are beautiful… as beautiful as the clean cuts and polishing in his pieces. He has such an amazing eye for detail and perspective and if you see his works in person you can see the delicatessen and soft touch added to each piece. His works are gems thus making him one of the very best engravers I have come across and one of the most talented as well as one of the nicest people I have ever met. I am so honored to call him my friend and so very happy to have him on my blog. Please visit his website :

I will be posting some more of his work and a close up so you can see the beautiful details acquired by this master engraver… His polishing is simply astonishing!
