Hi All, I wanted to feature some amazing works of art that Diane Pfister sent me by email. Her unique art uses various forms of materials along with glass that have been etched. I love seeing people mix glass etching with other forms of art because it is unique and a creative way to think outside the box.
This is what she provided me below. (Click the photos to see an enlarged version.)
The Map was for a brochure cover and reception artwork ( 10 x 6 feet approx.) for a company by Heathrow Airport called Trusthouse Forte.
NOTE: From what I can tell, this appears to be a 2 layered glass top which uses leds to light up the etchings & shadings. It looks like she engraved an outline around the continents and filled it in with some sort of gold paint. Very cool!
The three spirals were for a central interior design building in London called Chelsea Harbour. The three spirals represent feature architectural elements in the building, namely towers with spiral staircases.
NOTE: When looking at this piece, it appears to be a glass top separated from a bottom layer with a collage of tiles & other contemporary art. There are some great shade etching techniques in this one also.
Please let us know what you thought and leave Diane some much desired comments about her art in the comments below!

outstanding. I wish, I had talent like that.
Wow, both of these are about the most creative I have ever seen. They far surpass anything I have ever done with glass. The only thing I have ever done was to engrave the words to my poems using a laser. I would encourage and grant permission for any artist to use poems from my first book “Farm Girl Dirt” if all or part of the proceeds are donated to charity. Greg Wilkinson
That is beautiful. I need to get myself organized so I can do some of this myself. I have everything I need…. just need to get confident enough to do it.
This is the type of capability of why I’m interested in this field!
Beautiful and amazing.
Very NICE!

Most definitely masterpieces, Diane.

Very nice work. I wouldn’t even know where to start on making something like this. I don’t even have the time to figure out on how to do something like this. Would be nice to learn how she did this.

This is why I am teaching myself this, so I can become as talented as you are.
Diane…I am just seeing this in late July, 2014! This is fab work and I

Very impressed with Dianes work, very creative, how can i etch to give something a 3d effect, n what paints that stay on any glass, please advice.
Diane,
I am intrigued by the piece for Trusthouse Forte. How was the “crumpled translucent blue material effect” achieved? Beautiful work!
