Hi everyone. Today I am going to show you just how cool the Proxxon glass engraving tool is. I tell you what, it was way easier than I ever thought possible, And fun too!!
Tools and equipment needed.
a spray bottle for water
tape (any kind should work)
something made of glass. I used a plate.
rag
eye protection
The first thing I did was to choose a pattern that would fit onto my plate. I chose this hummingbird because it had a fairly simple outline and I am a beginner at this. I taped it to the bottom of the plate. It will be easy to see because the glass is clear.
Below is a short video of me using the glass engraver tool.
It was so easy to use. I may look a little shaky in the video but I gained confidence as I went on.
look at all the little flowers I freehanded. I may have got carried away a little bit, but hummingbirds do love flowers. For inspiration I added "Fly" because to me that means freedom.
I think this might turn into a hobby for me. I enjoyed it so much. I think I might be personalizing some glassware for presents: Thank you, happy birthday, congratulation...etc. If you can hold a pencil and write you can do this!
Decided to go for it and try some personalizing. Did some wine glasses for my friends. The engraving will show up better I think with a little red wine. 👍😁
Thank you all for visiting. I loved doing this. Sometimes trying out new things really works!! and it is a kick!
Thanks Proxxon for making a great tool that is so easy to use that success is guaranteed!
Thanks Terri our fearless leader.
Till next time.... stay creative.🎨 and strong 💪 Carol

Carol You know I just love this new tool,

It is so light and easy to manage and does
