Bringing Artwork to Life

I was recently asked by one of my mom's coworkers to see if I could turn her son's artwork into an engraving. He is a very talented artist and my mom had told her about my work. They both thought it would be fun to show the boy that he can make his artwork come to life :)
~~~~~~
My mom emailed me three pieces of his artwork with instructions as to how he would like it engraved.
The first piece he wanted etched on glass.
The next he wanted engraved on wood.
And the last one he wanted made into a pendant with parts engraved and parts cut away.
It was fun seeing his drawings come to life with each piece! I hope this shows him that his artwork is special and keep his creativity flowing :)

  16. Wow! These turned out great. Were the original drawings in pencil or ink? It's amazing how the original drawings translated when transferred to wood.
