I added some paper so that the design would stand out more. It's also difficult to photograph because the designs wrap around the vases.

A Wedding Gift
Brandy and I picked these vases up at IKEA. I thought it would be fun to etch a design on them and Brandy has a wedding to go to in a few weeks. Perfect - it's going to be a wedding gift! Guess what though? They aren't glass! Or at least not 100% glass. Although they look, feel, and sound like glass. Grrrrr. I guess I should have thrown one on the floor to see if it shattered first! I of course didn't discover this until I was rinsing off the etching creme. There was a faint outline where the design should have been. Vexed!! But I am one to never let a good design go to waste so I decided to just use black vinyl. I think it still turned out pretty well.

ReplyDeleteKaren I know - I am already thinking of ideas!

Also thinking you could come up with alternate messages that could turn these into a great graduation gift to go in a new college students apartment or dorm room.
You are so talented! What an eye for creatively seeing the world.
Thank you Lauree. I worry about a college student and candles though. Lol. I guess I shouldn't - my niece is doing okay with the lighted glass block I made her last fall.
