Finished Embossed Cigar Glass

Post by Bill DeBekker »

The Artwork is based upon a Monogram Cigar Label I have then Redrew/digitized along with some LHF lettering on parts that I couldn't decipher from my photos along with some Mike Jackson accents. (Special Thanks to Larry White for the Acid info.)

This was a 12x18 practice piece for Staged Acid Embossing and my first try screen printing the backup. Has 23k,18k lemon gold with Silver Leaf and Pearl Accents sponged final backup.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did making. More to pieces to come.

No Humans or small animals were harmed in the making of this piece.

You got it down William.
The only thing i would like to give you is my advise of more shading.
Then the design will look more handmade and less number-coloring.
I am impressed if this is, like you said: one of your first pieces.
Realizing we are in the 2nd renaissance of the arts.
Learn, copy and trying to improve...
Still in the learning phase ;-)
