the picture i just added is, sadly, not one of my pieces as i am not nearly that good yet. it is titled "The Elusive Buck" and was made by Steuben Glass. if you look at the etching through one side of the prism, you can see the buck. look through the other side, and the buck dissappears. i saw this when the original was being made and it was extremely cool and very intricate... it is apparently a product of copper wheel engraving...

Nice pic of it, but it doesn't quite do the piece the justice it deserves. Someday maybe you'll get to make stuff like that!

I love this piece. I've also always been partial to the dream castle.

well, that would be the point of me doing things like taking classes. and dream castle is on the same principle is it not? anyway, it is not possible to capture in a photograph the essence of this piece.
