I began studying calligraphy in 2002 as a way to transition into my new role as a stay at home mom.   In 2008 my mom calls and asks “Can you put your fancy writing in glass?”  Several years before I had purchased at a yard sale a battery operated engraver for $ .50 and had put it in my craft drawer.  Pulled it out and began experimenting and I have been experimenting ever since.
