[Photos] Lovecraftian Glass Engravings

[karohemd]

Yesterday evening I walked over to hardcore_genki's to hand over my wedding present.
A while ago, @raliel posted a photo of a glass engraved with a Lovecraftian monster on twitter and wedding bells started ringing in my head so I asked him if he would do a set for me and he did. They look like this:

  

You can find this fine artist on twitter or deviantART. Some of you know him, he was the puppeteer at the Evelyn Evelyn gigs.
They were really tricky to photograph and I realised that polishing glass so that no smears show up at all when taking pictures (even if they look fine when held against the light) was hard and I didn't quite manage. I was even wearing gloves when setting up the shots...

Lovely glasses! I think the photos turned out very well. :)

Thank you!
If you ever get married, I'm getting El and you a set as well. ;o)

These are extremely fine, and what a lovely idea for a wedding present!

Did you specify the eldritch horrors depicted, or leave it to him to choose what would work best?

They love them. Both are Cthulhu fans so it was basically an obvious choice. :o) They are also one of a kind.
No, I left the choice up to him.

Those are particularly fabulous, and an excellent idea.

When I saw the one he posted, it was one of those "I saw this and I thought of you" moments. :o)
