Burberry Fragrance Bottle Engraving - Houston Calligraphy Engraver

Once again, I had the opportunity to engrave fragrance bottles for Burberry (Her). This particular bottle was to be given to a mother for Mother’s Day. The client wanted to engrave something that exuded his mother, however was not the typical “Happy Mother’s Day”. We settled on “gorgeous”.

During the event, things were quite busy as it was a day where I engraved around 50-60 bottles. With that said, I didn't have an opportunity to “stop and smell the roses” or the fragrance. I did however find a little information about this scent.

Her Eau de Parfum is the first gourmand fragrance with a British twist by Burberry. A burst of red and dark berry notes lightened by a luminous, white woody accord.

I love a gorgeous scent…

Maker's Mark Bourbon Whiskey Bottle Engraving - Houston Engraver

I have engraved a fair amount of Maker’s Mark Bourbon bottles over the years. The glass bottle itself is really simple to etch as the bottle is made of solid quality glass and poses minimal resistance. The label designers were also kind enough to provide plenty of space for engraving. However, I stumbled across the website and learned a bit about the brand and their mantra. We have something in common. We both believe in quality over quantity. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast. Here’s how they put it:

Making Maker's Mark® Bourbon

There's an old joke at the distillery that goes, "If we could make it any faster, we wouldn't." Because at Maker's Mark, it's one bottle at a time. Every time. That's as true today as it was when our founders filled our first bottle. And since then, it's been a widely held belief around here that character isn't made by machine.

Love it. Cheers!

Break in Case of Emergency - Whiskey Bottle Etching / Engraving Houston

As businesses are experiencing various degrees of decreased revenue, there is one business that is experiencing unprecedented revenue…wine and spirits. That certainly isn’t a surprise as people are spending more time indoors with even more time to spend with those that we love.

At the same time, all of this togetherness for some has a limit. When that limit is reached, wine and spirits can be as welcome as a soothing old friend. That was the thought in mind when this whiskey bottle was engraved …”Break in case of Emergency” when your isolation mates love you a little too much and one more Zoom call might push you over the edge. And if you are to enjoy a refreshing drink, why not have wine or spirit (whiskey, tequila, whatever your heart desires) bottle engraving to make it fun. Cheers!

Calligraphy in the key of C Major - Houston Calligraphy Course

Have you had a desire to write calligraphy or even just improve your handwriting? Most of us don’t write very much any more with the dawn of typing & texting. Some say that it is a “lost art”. It’s not that lost though. There is a subculture of penman, calligraphers, hand engravers and hand lettering artists that are able to take advantage, in a sense, that there are times when computer type does not quite suit your needs. It certainly has its place, but it is not “one size fits all”. We make a living on that niche. Thankfully :)

With that in mind, I have developed online calligraphy courses that can be taken at whatever individual pace that works for each artist whether they prefer something for intermediate students or a calligraphy course for beginners. It is almost entirely via video such that an artist can playback, skip forward and zoom in to their hearts’ desire. Although I am based in Houston, this calligraphy course can be taken be anyone, anywhere & you have unlimited access to the calligraphy class of your choice.
