@coradoxenox yes that is right, different effect, more like airbrush work. Work backwards blasting the lightest first and the gentlest shades last, removing pieces for each tone as you go along.
Thank you Eposs and Artsmart for your compliments. Yes I am self taught over a period of 24 years now, with books videos and slides (in Africa then ). Since being in the UK I have more contact with engravers being on the Council of the Guild of Glass Engravers. Have a look at my website for more information.
The bowl is hand made to my specifications in 2 layers of lead crystal. This amount of work on such a piece would be around £600, I sold this some time ago.
Many thanks for your very useful comment, I was not sure if the drilling noise would drive everyone nuts! I will keep this in mind for future videos. I suppose they could always turn it down if it got too much.
Sono senza parole...wow Sei bravissima,complimenti...Un saluto dall'Italia.
