Fly Fish with Mel: Immortalized Flies

Flies on Glass

No fishing again so it's back to craftwork.

Just found a couple of glass beakers I bought from Ikea.
Using diamond-tipped bits for my Minicraft rotary tool, I tried my hand at engraving a fly, a Royal Coachman, on the beaker.

And after a few apprehensive minutes, I started to get a hang of controlling the whirrring tool. With each grinding stroke, I gained confidence and line by line, the fly started to materialize on the once empty glass.


This is end result, with the Royal Coachman immortalized on the glass.
