I posted a few days ago about my first etched, upcycled glass container, and it was really inspiring! I've created a couple of new containers, and one is my first attempt at details. It's a bit off and the edges are a bit ragged, but practice makes perfect and I've got an unlimited supply of glass to practice on. lol I like the uneven, frosted 'flare' at the top, myself.

Check it out and see what you think! Other than the obvious imperfections do you have any other criticism?

Forgive the bit of glass dust and fingerprints! happy

That's cool. Not everyone can do that. What are the materials that you use? Do you use heat? It would be interesting to know the procedure. I'll view the picture after this, and will comment on it. Thanks for sharing your new, dynamic activity.

It's nice. The thing I see is the edges needing to be more polished, and you already realize it's ragged so great job.

It looks like you are off to a great start! What are you using to do the etchings? A dremel?
I wanted to try something like that on a couple of very large pieces of beach glass I have, but I'm leery of etching the glass after they've been in the ocean for so long (one piece of glass is very old, at least 30 yrs and I'm not sure what the salt water and tumbling in the sand have done to the makeup of the glass)

What precautions do you take when etching? I drill a hole in my sea glass when the piece is in water to help catch the dust from the drilling.

Great job, keep posting those pictures!
