#glass etching

[idleleaves]

To nobody's surprise, I continue to be an entire Silmarillion nerd, and I'm back to glass etching, this time with heraldic devices—Fingolfin's, to start. (It looks a little patchy in the photo, but it's not—it's a pretty clean etch. At some point I'll set up my lightbox to take photos of these without the reflective streaks and highlights.)

“Thirst Crafts”

Drew Luke into a stencil, and etched him into glass with a dremel because apparently I have zero chill and a deep, spiritual need to suffer for art.

He’s permanently on a mug now. My wrist may never forgive me but… worth it.

Here's how I made my totally normal, perfectly safe and not-cursed mirror

Snowflake Glass

Chalk another one up for a fantastic library system!

(This one was last November.)

I was quite excited (and curious) when I saw glass etching on the library events, signed up for it, and found it was fun . . . and something I could potentially even do easily at home.

It's done with a simple (and reusable, evidently) cream! (Learn something new every day; I'd never heard of such a thing before.)

The woman running it also showed us one that she'd done before with a reverse stencil - blocking out a shape and etching everything else. And you can do it with anything that blacks out or leaves out space - like masking tape cut into shapes, apparently.

I used premade stencils (with sticky on the backs) made by the same company who makes the cream, however.

Used the same two stencils multiple times; thought about using multiple designs of snowflakes - but they didn't all match styles, and I liked this one best.

After a lot of blood, sweat, and hand cramps, I finally finished the mirror for my mom's birthday present.

Less of a shop update and more of a quality of life update. Had this custom etched tip jar made to have at shows with me so even if folks might not be able to afford something in the moment, they can still offer a buck or two in appreciation of my work 💜
