Over the last few month I have been busy working with New York Designer Dikayl Rimmasch Dunkley on a series of Hand made custom advertising mirrors for two
new Ralph Lauren stores in New York city.
The photographs show the processes of making the mirror from start to finish.
Antique advertising mirrors created with a look of a mirrors you would have found in the early 1900's.
Mock up sample for the larger mirrors.
Two toned water gilded border with glue chipped and antique mirrored finish.
Some of the gold leaf lettering has been added.
The third and larger mirror with mirroring completed.
Once the acid embossing and glue chipping is complete the glass is then given an antique mirror finish.
This detail shows the glue having been poured into the exposed glass areas. As the glue dries it will begin to fracture and chip the glass to create a texture on the surface of the glass.
Glass panels are placed in the chipping booth to begin the 24 hour chipping process.
Mica flakes and acid applied to the exposed glass creating a textured finish to the glass.
Here the first two glass pieces are masked and ready for acid embossing.
Awesome work, man! I'm a long time supporter of the RL brands (especially RRL) and being a visual artist, I not only appreciate these kind of pieces, but understand the unique process/art of creating them.

That is awesome! Thanks for sharing your custom glass designs!
ReplyDeleteThese were great custom mirror tips. I can't wait to use them.
ReplyDeleteThose custom signs have such a deep rooted American History about them. I can totally visualize the old west in those signs. I am sure that is a valuable skill to have? The ability to paint like that on glass.

The look of the glass writing looks vintage. I like it! Makes me feel like I'm in a small touristy town.

Cool job you have done so far with mirrors. I love the design that you made on this post. As I have the mirror store ( texascustommirrors.com in Texas I can say your ideas are really appriciatable.
ReplyDeleteI have to say, that all looks really cool! My cousin's trying to start his own small business, and is looking to get a custom sign made to try and draw in customers. From what he explained, it sounded like he was actually trying to get something with the same kind of feel as the one in your pictures.

ReplyDeleteMy husband and I own a small restaurant and it has an old cowboy theme to it. I really want to get a new glass sign that we can put up. I really like what you have in this post cause it would go really well with the rest of the theme.

There are all kinds of custom signs that these people do. It is really amazing to see any and all signs that they have to offer. The custom work that these companies do is quiet something.

I like how classy these custom mirror signs look. It seems like a mirror business sign can only work if it's not so obvious that it's a mirror. I think that you did a really good job with making this company's sign look really sophisticated. Keep up the good work.
