I've been in a Halloween mood. I am not sure why, but I am ready to see some spooky projects on crafting blogs/boards. Of course I haven't ordered my kid's Halloween costumes yet, but eh, I'll get around to it. This morning I decided to do a bit of glass etching on a lantern, spooky style.
One of the hardest things to do is photograph a lantern or a mirror so I apologize for the the pictures. Also, this is not my best etching work. There are a few imperfections, and again, I'm seeing this grainy etched surface in a few places. I am beginning to think that that batch of etching creme I was using was defective in some way. I am so full of excuses today! No worries though. It's good enough for display on the porch on Halloween and around the house until then.

Hey, I like it! Very ambitious piece of work! I can't see the imperfections so it looks great to me. But etching is a very unforgiving process so I understand how hard it can be to get the results you are looking for. BTW, how do I add that nifty Reactions line to my blog...it's very cool!
ReplyDeleteHa! I set it up when I started my blog and haven't been able to figure out how to get back *there* to tweak it since. So I'm no help. I bet Pam would know though. Lol. Thanks for the compliments. It will do, and I'm working with vinyl again so that's a plus.
ReplyDeletewow dayna! These turned out awesome!. Where did you get those cool lanterns!
ReplyDeleteThansk Pam - Ikea is the place! But I've heard people have picked them up from Lowe's as well.
ReplyDeleteNice and scary! Great job!

Great job! I love the way it turned out.
ReplyDeleteHauntingly adorable! I am feeling kinda Halloween-ish myself these days. I think it is the leaves that are starting to fall in my yard -- how is that possible already????
ReplyDeleteThis is so awesome! I love the images you used! I've never tried etching cream but this is inspiring me to do so! Love it :)
