Sorry for this horrible picture. The low light has messed up the color and the details are poor...

This is a Dragon I carved (sandblasted) from and old table top (about 24") The image is carved from the back and painted with yellow and black oil paints. The details in the dragon that were not carved are green foil. The rest of the piece is red foil.

You cant see the depth but the face is almost carved all the way through the glass and the body fades back for a 3D effect.

[Beer]Pretty slick work, the picture isn't that bad as you can see everything clearly.The 3d is always hard to show in print or video with the glass as the depths of cuts aren't deep for contrast. If you haven't taken the classes or seen Norm and Ruth Dobbins videos on glass blasting All 4 volumes are great. You can rent the video(DVD's) from glass blasting video's they cover everything you need to know on blasting and carving glass.I took their classes at sign biz show a number of years ago and they where fantastic.

Looks pretty good from here!

THAT is really cool, nice work!

Pretty cool, Matt
I had a duck scene sand blasted into the glass side lights and transom of my sons front dr…..and you know I can’t take a picture of that worth a damn
