Mirror Etching - Houston Engravers

It’s funny how everything comes full circle. When I used to work in weddings years ago, I was one of the first calligraphers in Houston to write calligraphy on mirrors. It started out as seating charts for weddings, then little mirrors as reception place cards. Then my engraving business took over and I slowly transitioned out of weddings and by default, large mirrors as well. Every now and then when I worked for a cosmetic company such as Charlotte Tilbury, Chanel or Shiseido, I would engrave a makeup compact mirror onsite during an event, but that was it. Then right in the middle of the pandemic, a client in California saw my “Keep your head, heels and standards high” mirror online. That mirror was executed in white acrylic paint in 2017.. She wanted the quote in my lettering style but with a slight difference. She wanted it engraved instead of calligraphy with paint. My response: I’ve never done that at that size…let’s do it! Glass is glass. Here’s the result!
