DIY Glass Etching

Filed under: DIYs, Design, Household

Glass can be arranged in many ways and while it can look beautiful on its own, adding etchings or coloring can really bring a unique feel to your home. Instead of spending a small fortune on having glass etched professionally or buying expensive tools, you can easily create your own designs with some painter’s tape and other tools.

If you’re aiming to use this procedure on your door, windows or any glass that lets in natural light, keep in mind that the process requires painting the glass black or another dark color to emphasize your designs. I’d recommend making a custom coffee table, bathroom window or art piece if you’re going to try it out.

The year is 2011. Rap music has evolved to the point where bling and grillz are no longer cool. The new fad is tattoos. Rappers everywhere from all crews are swarming dentist offices trying to get tooth tattoos. What are tooth tattoos? I’m glad you asked.

Back in the year 2008, the Heward Dental Lab in Salt Lake City decided to start offering custom hand-painted crowns. That’s right. If you were hoping to get an image of Andy Warhold silk-screened onto a tooth, no dice. Costing between $75 and $500, rappers of all wealth flocked to Salt Lake City to get images of George Washington and Elvis attached on their teeth. Thus, the hit single of 2009 was born: “Saltin’” by Chamillionaire.

Check out the above image and tell me if you can tell the difference between the lovely bride and a real photo of a lovely bride. This is not a real photo. The above painting was made using nothing more than an artistic eye for detail and a computer. And we thought the WoW Night Elf rendering was amazing!
Check out the site for an in-depth look at the process and the amount of detail put into the painting. The whole thing took about 70 hours. — Andrew Dobrow
