My latest lil' project

I found a piece of broken glass while walking my dogs :) and this is what came up. It is not awesome... But as always, I learnt so much with every lil' piece you make.

So my machine is here =0) I got this from the Czech Republic a few months ago, I just unpacked it a few days ago and wanted to share this with you guys. If ANYONE has any information, tips, comments or wants to donate anything please write me =0)

The photo below is what the set up looked like when in the Czech Republic and what it will look like when it's set up here. I got everything that you see in the photo.

RIP Jiří Harcuba

It was posted on facebook that Mr. Harcuba passed away this morning. A very sad day for those who learnt from him and those who love the beautiful art of glass engraving. May he rest in peace.
