Thank you. The tools you mention are rubber. Please see the Techniques page of my website for some details and a link at the bottom of the page.

wow that was amazing to watch. how did u learn? do u do a course in engraving or did u just learn on ur own? again that was amazing to watch.

[lespyke]

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.

Cheers

Les

@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.

Thanks a lot.. I don't have seen the page! Perfect... and NOW Practice...Practice...Practice

Bye

Wow... the technique of layering and shaping is just amazing...

Makes me think I may finally have found a use for my Dremil... but I think yours is special built for that task.
