HAPPY NEW YEAR - Houston Engraver

When it comes to celebrating New Year’s Eve, I am quite low-key. I haven’t celebrated the holiday in the traditional sense in many years. Frankly, I’m usually engraving on the day of New Year’s Eve and it is always fun. Everyone is typically in a good mood and ready for a delightful time.

I believe that I engraved this bottle at an event a few days before the New Year. With this bottle, I decided to include the year within the flourish of the lettering. I have done that more over the last few months. Not because I am some amazing design and layout guru. It’s more so because often a client will write down what they would like engraved, walk away and then return to say “could you add the year?” I always respond “no problem.” However, by that time, I’ve already placed my lines on their bottle and I am already engraving another bottle and I may not have the time to go back and place another line on their bottle simply to add the year. ENTER: work it into the design.

Cheers and Happy New Year!
