Hey! @Ami2301
I've been working on a design today influenced by your twigs... I'll be carving it tomorrow onto glass if I'm not too tired. I have a spare piece glass already to use and if it comes out OK I'll add a base to it so that it lights-up. I'll be moving onto fish after this, and/or one or two Art Deco ladies & flowers.

These are just a small sample of some of my work. I have loads more but didn't want to bore you. Some of these pieces are memorial pieces whereby I incorporate your beloved pet or lived ones ashes. The pendants and angel wings are two of those. I am currently working on other ideas and pendant styles for this. -

A hand tip however, is that you 'could' produce a similar effect by laying a clear sheet of glass of any size upon a design, and then simply tracing it with carbon-copy paper before then adding blocks of frosting paste and/or stained glass paints (low cost) to produce Tiffany style panes/sunlight catchers. You can also obtain tubes of faux liquid lead which simply draws a raised line around each colour... Once you've mastered flat glass, you can then try vases and or drinking glasses for example. WEARING PROTECTIVE MASKS & EYESHIELDS IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST WHEN ENGRAVING/ETCHING GLASS. NEVER ATTEMPT IT WITHOUT THEM. Think Safe and stay Safe.

@Roddy thank you very much for that information and I will definitely give those ideid a go. Currently I work with a microwave kiln to fuse my glass pendants. It is just as effective as a proper kiln, however it is limited due to its size. But I will definitely try your ideas. I have some glass paints and the etching paste so will be fairly inexpensive for me to try it. I will let you know how I get on. Thanks again

HI @Roddy
that's a brilliant idea I never considered taking the glass out and working with it hot, now this opens a lot of different ways of working with the glass I never considered before, very exciting. Thank you for that I appreciate it. Could I do the same with thin glass rods I use with my bullseye? I love your recent post and you have said it so eloquently.
