John Styler of Prospect Heights, Illinois expresses his thanks about pointers on glass picture taking:

My thanks to Charles Sweigart for including the YouTube at the end of his comments, it was very interesting

Then, Willson Craigie of Richmond, Virginia asks:

Hi Alan – With regard to Carder Steuben crystal both clear or colored to clear works of art……. which is the proper term: “Etched” or “Engraved” ??? I’ve seen both used in various texts. I believe they are both executed the same way (copper wheel). Thank you, Willson
