Your horse in glass?

[Ed Anderson]

Hi all,

I'm building a small glass engraving studio and putting out feelers to see
if there is any interest in the following.....

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

The portrait can be deeply engraved on the back side of a mirror. When
viewed from the front, you see a 3-D image of your horse staring back at
you! A similar work can be done on other types of glass such as mugs and
plates.
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 cabinet doors and table tops. I can also personalize with
initials, names, and logos.

Do you have a fovorite photo of your horse? I am extremely particular about
my work. I prefer to work from high quality 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--IS ANYBODY INTERESTED???

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

Nice idea, but how about having that beautiful animal's image permanently
blasted into a piece of polished
stainless steel using high explosives? I can do any size picture on any
thickness of steel you desire. The
final product is then mounted in your choice of exotic hardwood frames made
of black walnut, walnut, maple,
mohogany or other wood by special order. Serious inquiries only as my work
is very private and very serious.
