Your bird in glass?

[Ed Anderson]

Hello everyone,

First, I want to say this is NOT spam! I will not try to sell anything to
anyone in this group.

I'm building a small glass engraving studio in my home, and putting out
feelers to see if there would be any interest in the following.....

Web sites that do animal portraits in oils, ink, pastels, etc are common.
What would you think about having your bird's portrait engraved in glass?
I'm talking realism--right down to the eye sparkle and individual feathers.
The
technique I use is called sand carving.

The portrait can be deeply engraved on the back side of a mirror, for
instance. When viewed from the front, you see a 3-D image of your bird
staring back at you! A similar work can be done on other types of glass
such as plates and trophies. I have also experimented with simulated
antique gold and copper finishes that really look sharp. I want to
eventually add the
ability to do large areas such as room dividers and table tops. I can also
personalize with initials, names, and logos.

Do you have a fovorite photo of your bird? I am extremely particular about
my work. I prefer to work from large, clear photographs to see as much
detail as possible. Think of it. Nothing catches the light and lasts
forever like engraved glass!

I don't have a business yet, or even a web site. I'm just looking for a
little feedback in the form of people's reactions to this rather novel idea.
In other works--WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I'll be more than happy to answer any questions.

Sounds novel. I'd like to see a side-by-side of a photo and a finished
product. Sounds like something I'd like for window panes. I have
butter fingers with nice glass ware and china.

I would be interested in seeing how it looks too. About how much would it
cost? Sounds like it could be a good idea.
