Výstava/Exhibition "Všimnutí" (More of the glass engraving work from the talented and gorgeous Pavlína Čambalová)








All images are © to Ms. Čambalová and have been used with her permission. Photo #1 (top and one of my favourites! is titled Sedící, horský křišťál (Sitting, Rock Crystal)

Here is one of my favourite engravers. I appreciate the beautiful details and delicate touch of Ms. Čambalová. Her work is soft, beautiful and radiant as if it has been laced with divinity... Perhaps the divinity of her hands.

You can see more of her work on her web site :


Thank you so much for allowing me to share with our viewers your wonderful work.

Do any of the readers here know anything about this Glass Engraving Lathe?



A member of the blog bought this glass engraving lathe and all he knows is "it came from Germany. The spindle on it is about 1 1/2" in diameter."

If you have (or think you know anything) about this lathe, post it on the comments and perhaps we can all learn a bit in the process =) Thank you all!

More of the strikingly beautiful work from the hand of Wendy Johnston Brodd.

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 =)
