Dmitri, I have done this type of work in the past and am now turning it to deeper carving on 3mil and 6mil glass and the thicker mirrors. It is an interesting hobby at the moment and on the piece that I have put on here, it is done on a piece of 3mil glass with the flowers cut in to a depth of at least 1mil and in places about 1.5mil.
On the mirrors, I take the back out of them, then carve into the back of a mirror, sometimes painting it after I have done the carving.
A sample of this , which is a very early one, is on the post " Another from Oz" in the Who's Who.
