She is the owner of Gifted Hands, a business where she creates de- signs on mirmrand glass items. "It started as a hobby in my kitch- en," she said. Her mother-in-law was the first person she did work tor. "She has the first pieces 1 ever worked on." Dougall stumbled across the craft white doing stained glass work. "1 was on a buying trip and saw the books end became interested," she said. Now almost six years later, -the business has been% relocated to a 'tapaeious building just behind her Vie. And inside she diligently +llflcs on engraving and etching ' glass and mirror items in addition =to stained glass designs. Most of the work she does is for special occasions such as weddings and anniversaries. To create the images she either draws the designs free hand or uses stencils. "It depends what the cus- , tomer wants," she said. "I have a number of books with designs in them, but if someone comes in with a picture or idea of their own I try to Mike something for them.' Once - the design is ehMen, The next decision is whether to engrave or etch the image. The difference between the two is that etched de- signs are more visible while the en- graved is more delicate and refined. For engraving she uses a special pen that has a diamond tip. That's what makes the cuts the glass or mirror. Dougall said it takes a bit of practice to get a feel for the pen and to know how much force to use. The trick, she said, is to find the perfect diamond angle that will give a smooth cut. The etched items on the other hand, have the design stencil placed on the glass and then a special knife is used to cut around the sten- cil. Once the image is sketched out, the next step is sandblasting.

Dougall said the amount of time it takes to make each design varies with the complexity of the design. Her abilities aren't limited to small items. Over the past few years she has branched out into more elaborate work on doors, windows, mirrors, picture glass and even motorcycle windshields. And in January Dougall said she's going to start experimenting with sandblast carving. "This method would give designs more of a three dimensional look," she said. And this would allow her to create even more intricate designs. "The possibilities arc endless," she said. I wish to extend my appreciation to my past and present clients over the last 20 years.
