That is so interesting Eric, having never worked with glass you make it sound so easy but tell me is sandblasting done with a special tool in the same way they sandblast the grime off buildings. Hugs Joyce

I might have to jump in this challenge. If not this month, then maybe next month. It will be cool to see everyone's specialty of glass work compiled in one place here.

Dina, did you get a sandblaster setup or etching cream? If you use etching cream, just make sure to brush on a thick and even layer. I am always kinda disappointed with cream etching though because its not really that noticeable. Sandblasting is t...

Thanks and if you or anyone has questions about this, let me know. And I did etch the flower you wanted me to do but that pattern is usually used more for sandcarving. The picture is below. It should have been etched in a little bit deeper to reve...

Here's the Glass Etching Tutorial

Okay, here’s the tutorial on glass etching that I promised to show everyone. I was about to finally put it up a little bit ago but then there was a problem uploading photos so I figured I’d wait till it was fixed. Diane suggested etching the flower pattern that I give people on my glass etching site. I did etch it but it’s a little more advanced pattern used for sandcarving so I decided to show a simpler etching. Yes it is very basic but you can do a lot of interesting and personal things with t… Continue

Etch glass that I have done

These are just some basic etched glass mugs that I have done with some of the equipment that I use. If your interested about how to do it let me know.

Everyone let me know soon about what a cool idea for me to etch would be. Anything would be cool. I'll do it on scrap glass for the example.

Sounds so interesting and what comes to mind, might sound a bit mundane to an artist like yourself but simple things like making personal presents from bought glassware. This is a definite maybe (down the track when felting starts to wane). Hugs and thanks Joyce

My husband already has air guns, compressors etc and all the equipment you can imagine, so if I do ever take it up I should imagine I would only need the sandblasting tool itself, Hugs Joyce
