Etched Glass-Ceramic & Metal by Sandblasting

Effective 1 July 2022, I will no longer be taking orders for custom items and will only be fulfilling orders from existing customers who have existing artwork on file. I apologize for any inconvenience, but am barely able to keep up with the existing orders as is and cannot take on any more at this time. Thanks, Bruce Sadly, Linda passed away unexpectedly at home on January 9th, 2021. Bruce will continue to do some etching, but the business will never be the same without Linda's drive and artistic flair. What began in 1999 as a hobby, has evolved into a full time job for Linda and Bruce. Bruce retired from Law Enforcement after 28 years and is now able to devote more time helping Linda with thelarger jobs that she was reluctant to take on by herself.Their focus has shifted from rocks to glass, mirror and metal, and the quality of their work reflects the training they have received and continue to seek. They have attended asandcarving school in New Mexico on two separate occasions and in 2008 traveled to Boise, Idaho to start their training in glass gilding. Linda says this was a feat in itself, because it is not easy to get Bruce, a native Nevadan to leave the state. While in Boise they had a chance to meet face to face with"RB" of Texasand with hisexperience and guidance they arefinally able to etch photographs on glass. These techniques can now beapplied to the pieces commissioned by those seeking a one of a kind gift or decorative item for their home or office.
