Carl sent this latest post and pictures of his sandblasted glass mugs and pilsner glasses. He also sandblast engraved into some wooden boards. This seems to be catching on more lately. He provided the below details on these projects: The first one shows a bottle with a stencil and the unmasked version which was blasted
Ross Wease sent in these sandblasted projects through the submission form which consists of glass signs, a stone and a wood sign! Technically, I call the stone a sign as well since it displays an establishment. This is a great post because I have been wanting to discuss sandblasting wood signs, so I hope this
I am rather excited to share with everyone the new website which has many upgrades: It is now mobile friendly so you can view the website better on mobile and other screen sizes like tablets. We are now featuring the blog posts on the home page! You can now submit your etched glass or any
This featured post shows the work submitted to me by Jay Swartz. She thought that everyone wouldn’t like these since the etchings are specific to Martha’s Vineyard, but I think the overall idea alone will give you some creative project ideas! I haven’t thought of this, but she etched fillable lamps which were then filled

It is a lot simpler than other methods such as using a halftone photoresist

We featured Doug K. before. This time around he sent me these interesting items he etched. He etched some glass jars/ canisters, flutes for a wedding, candles which could be a great idea for Valentine’s day coming up, NFL etched glass sets, and a blue glass mug! He shared the following details: The floss canisters
Here is the first featured glass artist of 2015! This marvelous artistic glass bottle was completed by Radivoj Jovanov. He states that it is a special technique through the combination of glass carving, sand blasting and painting (with colors for metal). He provided the following images and the steps he takes to complete this below.
Here is another glass etcher that I wanted to feature named Debbie D. Her ideas are unique which we don’t hear much about. She etched various sayings and sentences in glass. It reminds me when I etched this poem into a glass mug (warning, I used a poor camera to take the photo). Anyway, she
For this round, we are featuring Patrick B’s submission. He engraved an eagle with the American flag, by sand carving it into jade. He also used LED lights to light it up. Jade glass is a softer substrate than the common, annealed glass, but can still be etched into. Jade is usually made from various
