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.

The truth is, that Wendy's work is one of my favourite if not... the FAVOURITE when it comes to drill engraving and polishing. Wendy's work is breathtaking both in the photos and in the flesh. The polishing and detail she achieves on the glass is magnificent. I still get the same feeling when I see her work I got the very first time I saw a little turtle she engraved. LOVE IT! Like it... and share it! She is AMAZING and such an amazing friend of mine =) and one of my greatest inspirations =)

Some more work from the talented hand of Wendy Johnston Brodd

Here is a quick look at a new piece of one of our favorite engravers in the world. Drill engraver Wendy Johnston Brodd. As I have previously said, Wendy has a beautiful eye for the detail and some of the most beautiful shades and shade gradations I have seen. Please enjoy. I have no web site information for Ms. Brodd at this time.

The beautiful polishing, shades and tones of the talented Wendy Johnston Brodd

Why do we love Mrs. Brodd? Well look at the photos! I met Wendy a couple of years ago and was blown away by the smoothness of her engraving and the softness of her polishing, transitions and detail. Wendy is an engraver from Bellingham, WA and aside from being one of the most talented engravers I have ever seen she is also such an amazing human being and great friend. Wendy states she first discovered glass engraving when came across the book Engraving glass: A beginner's guide by Boyd Graham (which I have a photo of in the book section) and she has given me a few tips on polishing and engraving which have been so helpful to me. Though I only wish I could polish and acquire that magic she has! If you think her stuff looks great on photos, see it in person! Its even more beautiful! She is a drill engraver. We love you Wendy!
