def·i·ni·tion

Finely detailed etching on a wine glass.

Some of the lines are only a tiny bit thicker than a human hair.(click on the image for a larger view)

Sorry to say I’ve decided not to include wine glass etching as something I offer as a service. I had previously decided to pursue it because of the regularity of calls asking fot it, but upon looking into it, silk screening is a much cheaper way to go and so that is what I am recommending to people.

I’m just beginning to explore the possibilities. The wineglass is a fantastic canvas to work on – it has a wonderful mobility to it. If the lighting isn’t quite right, the viewer is free to hold it up this way or that. This is not something you can usually do with glass art.

This particular glass was quite a chore. I used regular vinyl, which doesn’t like the curve of the glass much. It’s easier though to use thinner materials for detailed work. (click on the image to enlarge)
