Endangered

My hand engraved study of a number of our listed endangered invertebrates. Original pictures for this study were kindly supplied by BUGLIFE.ORG to whom a percentage of the sale of this piece will be donated. I had purchased ths cullet in a very raw state in a little glass factory in France some years ago. I have hand engraved each creature in great detail on every available facet, after having polished just the sharp edges so they were no longer a danger.

Lei.Anche are true compliment is a scorer, but I never tried on the glass with this little drill.You can use any type of glass?

@Exsina1000 I don't fully understand your words but I know internet translators are often difficult. You can use just about any glass, but crystal is the best. You have to experiment.

This is a wonderful piece of work. I really admire the details and I know what it takes to do this kind of work. I have been sand blasting design in glass for a glass company. Custom work. Now I am working with eggshells. Thanks for sharing Lesley. Wishing you great success, Carla Kelly

Thanks Carla, I admire your work too, I know how hard those eggs are, I resorted to drawing and painting them :-)
