I was really into glass etching for a while, and this is one I did freehand with a nail polish pen and etching cream.
At the time, I had a work friend who had gone through an unexpected breakup and was extremely depressed and mentally unwell about it. I was worried she would do something drastic (she had even mentioned ending things). I told her I was making something for her but it wasn't ready, and I strung her along about it for a few weeks. In the meantime we hung out a couple times, and each time I'd say something like "Oh shoot I forgot to bring it, but I'll definitely remember Thursday, so make sure you come to work so I can give it to you." My thinking was that maybe she'd keep going to see what it was since she knew I put a lot of effort into it. It's a real "live laugh love" kind of mug, but it was so her style. I did give it to her after some time, and she loved it. I don't know if my plan made a difference to her actions, but she didn't harm herself. I haven't talked to her in several years now, but last I heard she had married the person she was seeing after that break up. I hope she's living a life full of happiness.

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 💜

*Custom glasswork done by MCEtching, the QR code pictured links to his Ko-Fi page, where he also has a shop of his own. He makes other items besides just jars and glassware (he's been doing jewelry lately), like the lovely worry stone as seen in my hand. 💜

Got into glass etching recently. Only thing I'm unsure about is what kind of background to give it - i tried some blue magazine paper, but it wasn't quite right? I might try painting the back black.

A Series of Things!
To prove to myself I have been doing more than just sit here, here's some stuff I have made with my own two hands!
Tumblr media
This ball of t-shirt yarn is about six shirts! I'm going to turn the braid into a rug and hopefully the combo of pale blue, navy, and teal will still look ok when it's all sewn together!
Tumblr media
Baked a handful of polymer clay beads for the first time in forever. I used up some old practice canes and ended up with a nice light pink/salmon pink marble!
Tumblr media
And I finally got around to etching again! I solved part of the executive function problem I was having by finding a sort of tracing paper that is specifically made for glass! You can make whatever design you want and it just leaves a nice little waxy line behind!
This is perfect because all the designs I wanted to make are very complex which was making a wall in my brain because I couldn't figure out how to get the pattern to the bottle. But now I can!
This one is a nice little cherry blossom around the bottom left corner of this sake bottle, which is kind of square, so it works pretty well! I'm also excited to work on some wedding favor bottles now that I can trace the exact font I want!

Absolute shit-tier photos of etching on a wine glass I did a few years ago.
Can't get better photos because I no longer have it in my possession, so we're all stuck with this garbage.

The next step, that I did yesterday and today, was to put my stencils on the vases. I did half where the whole vase, except for the Maltese cross will be frosted.

And half where only the Maltese cross is frosted.
Tumblr media
Then I sprayed all my vases with a frosted glass spray paint. This gives it the etched look, without all the effort of actually doing the etching.
Tumblr media
Now to peel everything off and see what it looks like. I hope it worked how I wanted it to. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
