Your dog in glass?
Ed Anderson
First, I want to say this is NOT spam! I will not try to sell anything to
anyone in this group. I'm only looking for opinions about my idea.
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 about having your dog's portrait engraved in glass? This would be no
simple 5 minute quickie. This work ranks with fine oil paintings. 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, for
instance. When viewed from the front, you see a 3-D image of your dog
staring back at you! A similar work can be done on other types of glass
such as plates, trophies and door inserts. 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 items such as room dividers and table tops. I can also
personalize with initials, names, and logos.
Do you have a favorite photo of your dog? 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.

I tried to send this reponse to you personally, but my email was blocked.
I visited the site. The 'laser burn' artwork looks simplistic and
mechanical, but that's fine for that particular style. And, of course, the
medium is completely different. I prefer realism and details.
I will let you know when my website is ready. Thanks for your interest.
