I have seen this showed on other places too. Really there are so many possibilities that you can do with glass. I work with this quite a bit too and you can do more advanced things too such as sandcarving (although not for thin plexi-glass). If you guys need any tutorials on some of the creative things to do with glass. let me know. This etching is very cool and your right Hank, it is based on two different pieces of plexi glass.
