GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL!

One of my all time favourite pieces....

All images are © to Zoltan Viczan and used with permission.


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.

Lets do a little sketching.... Shall we?

Here is a photo, for those of you who like to engrave roses. I found this photo on line, flipped it ( I normally engrave intaglio so my photos have to be the opposite way when I trace them on to the glass) and then sketched it on my iPhone with an app called "sketch me" (which we have talked about before. Here is the info about this app on the blog:
