Artist's Comments

12" X 16" Etched Carved Glass sample for Golden Doors Spas Flowering Tropical tree with Butterfly and Small parrot. Carved and etched, but the job never came to be.

Thank You so much for the DD...when this little piece of glass came out of the closet we had no idea it would be so honored. DA is the 1st place it has ever been seen, other then by my son Kevin, and I am so happy people appreciate it.

THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!

Parrot and Butterfly Etched by *HouseofChabrier. The suggester wrote, "This little glass sculpture that was etched by sandblasting astounds me with its realism and the attention to detail it shows. The forms are elegant and flowing, creating a composition which demands exploration." (Suggested by =drop-asd and Featured by `Kitten-of-Woe)

Thank you ...it's all achieved in the sandblast booth, and you have to be able to think backwards, and think in layers to do this. I'm glad you like it!
:iconnaiave-shadowmoon:

If by storage...you mean wrapped in white butcher paper...labeled...put back into a protfolio with the other wrapped glass and leaning against some finished unframed paintings in my Livingroom? Yes...it's in storage!!!
:iconnaiave-shadowmoon:

I never thought of selling it because it was a sample made to obtain a job. I have done many samples in my life time. I usually use them to get more jobs, and show people I can do the impossible. (Architects often believe what I can achieve is impossible so do bosses, co workers...etc!) I only have these 5 samples of my etched glass work, and some large beveled peacock panels in my studio windows.
:iconnaiave-shadowmoon:
wow.. it's important for your portfolio then. i'd love to have etched glasswork in my future home.

It's superb! ^^

And then there was Silence....
:iconpolygonwrangler:
Wow, looks great! Too bad your deal fell through. It looks like several layers, did you laminate these together or are they etched on both sides to create this effect?

I remember trying a few small projects with the sandblaster in 7/8 grade shop class. It was really fun, but mine was on plastic. Good luck with other clients!
