We have seen a lot of carvings on fruits and vegetables in this section.  All very impressive and done by our own M.Comers.   For a change, I thought of showing our viewers that carving/etching can also be done on other objects, like mirror, metal and glass and wood too.


So here it is? a carving/etching done on mirror.   It may look like a daunting task, but it is definitely not.   All you need is a mirror, a carving or art knife,  brasso, some steel wool,  a steady hand and lots of patience.



This is a carving/etching  of a couple dancing the tango.  Surely, it takes two to tango !!!!!!  I have done the background by affixing a glossy-grey cardboard and giving it that shadow effect, but you could be more innovative and could also paint it with shiny glass paints so that it gets a more rich look.


Mirror Etching is an enjoyable task and can be tried by anyone!
