Engraved Champagne Bucket - Houston Engraver

As you know, I began engraving in metal more frequently over the last 2 years.  I absolutely adore engraving in metals.  Yes, engraving these can be a bit of a crapshoot in that not all metals engrave the same way.  I have found that stainless steel may not be the sexiest metal but it is the most predictable for me.  For the most part, I ALWAYS know what to expect with engraving jewelry or any other items in stainless steel.  Of course it feels a little different from trying to engrave calligraphy into glass like with wine bottles, but I have to say that I do get a little excited when I know that I have a metal project on the calligraphy calendar. 

These hand engraved champagne buckets will be sold by Curio.  Cheers!

Gucci Fragrance Bottle Engraving - Houston Engraver

It is always a pleasure working with the Gucci fragrance team for Houston calligraphy bottle engraving events.  Check out this bottle that I engraved calligraphy for a few weeks ago.  Cheers!

L O V E. L I F E. Quite possibly my favorite bottle from the Black Stallion Vineyard wine bottle calligraphy engraving event here in Houston yesterday @blackstallionwinery   This was requested by the sweetest, coolest "young" man that we had the privilege of engraving for that day. Excuse the glass dust...This one was engraved in 3.5 minutes. Score!

In love with love - Coppola Wines Houston Engraving Event

While engraving at an event late last week, there was a couple that sampled Coppola wine and decided to have it engraved by me.  This couple literally exuded the beauty of young love and it was honestly a gorgeous thing to see.  They were in love and anyone in the vicinity could see it in the way that they looked at each other and spoke to each other.  It was a beautiful thing.  When deciding on the message to be engraved, they went with something that they say to each other everyday.  ADORE!  Here it is!

Wine Bottle Engraving - Deutsch Family Wines: Josh Cellars

It was such a pleasure engraving calligraphy in wine bottles this weekend for the Deutsch Family Wines (Josh Wines).  As usual, it was so busy that I forgot to take a picture until the VERY end.  This was the very last wine bottle.  I believe that we engraved about 40 bottles that day in 3 hours.  It was a busy day!  Cheers!
