I am back!

Hello everyone;

I took a break a bit from blogging, so I could read and practice more my engraving.

My blog has not stopped attracting new visitors and I still get messages from all over the place; I hope to now start sharing more about the beautiful art I love.

Here is a new sample and video of one of my latest work. I hope you all can see a bit of progress.

Brusičské sympozium Světlá / glass cutting

Wonderful video - I love the camera angle and the fact that one can actually see the stone making the cut.

Wendy is by far one of my favourite drill engravers in the world. There is a softness and this eye for detail that I really admire (just look at the eye on the bird and tree on photo #2); so I am always very excited to share her work with you all.
