Nude girl on glass…

One of my most recent and not to mention, most unique request.
The requestor found out about me from the previous tankard-shot glass set that I did.
The amazing thing is she used to engrave glass back when she was in the UK. When I met up with her to get the tankard from her, she showed me her collection of photos of her engraving work and I must say, I was dumbfounded. She’s an amazing engraver! (and I’m just an amateur..). She had some very intricate engravings done by stippling and other more advanced glass engraving techniques.
Now, she’s in Singapore and, I guess, not having the time to engrave herself, wants me to engrave something for her friend.
Her request - a tankard with MCR on one side and a picture of a nude girl on the base of the tankard.
Unfortunately, upon inspection of the tankard she passed to me, engraving an image on the base would not be a good idea as the glass had distortions. So the nude girl goes onto the side…
Considering she’s such a top notch engraver, imagine the stress I was going through while engraving this tankard!
I hope I didn’t disappoint her THAT much….
Ok fine here’s the pics for those of you who got to this post to look at a nude girl….
First the MCR side…
And here’s the beautiful lady in all her glory…
*finally got it delivered and she commented the nude lady looks like her friend’s wife!*
Nice but I find the body shape distorted somehow.
Hi Wishbone,
I won’t say its perfect. First time someone requested this and I hope I’ve met her expectation!
Add to the fact that I’m no photographer!
