Okay, friends. Let's get crafty.
And NOTHING says crafty, like a chunky-substance with the power to burn your skin right off. Big round of applause for...Glass-Etching Cream!!
Totally joking, but my bottle does put the fear of God in you, as far as skin-contact goes. And if you get it in your eyes I think you actually die, like, 15 times. And then you're reincarnated as a Teletubbie. Good thing I read those directions *after* I washed the stuff off with my bare hands. That's how real men do it (plus, I don't own gloves).
Anyway.
My AWESOME friend Lelan from Hello, Good Gravy! had a glass-etching example posted last week. I've seen glass etching projects out there on the Internet, but they didn't do anything for me, I was all way-to-cool-and-kind-of-meh about it. Then Lelan went ahead and created this whole little scalloped circle cuteness. OH NO SHE DI'ANT?
Yup, she did.
I read that post of hers while I was out of town this past weekend, and ACTUALLY tried to find etching cream in Ozarkville, Missouri. Um, no-go. But I did haul-ass to Hobby Lobby first thing on Monday with my 40% off coupon. Score! And it turns out I also happen to own a scalloped-circle paper cutter! Double-SCORE! Jinx! Buy me a Coke!
All this to say that I have made some fun sippy cups for a few of my friends. And by sippy cups, I mean wine goblets. Though, I do need to make a baby gift for my new nephew and I have all kinds of glass etching ideas spinning. Mike thinks it's wickedly smart of me to give glass to a baby.
Anyway, HERE is the link to Lelan's blog post (click HERE if you missed the first one). Head over there, ASAP. She is a design GENIUS. If there is a look and a style that I favor, it is hers, hands down. You will need to click over to her Etsy shop to really see how talented she is, but her blog is a pretty great indicator that her designer *eye* overflows into everything she does.
And I am loudly singing her praises, because tomorrow I will reveal what arrived on my doorstep today. Hint: It was NOT a flaming bag of poop. Hint-hint: It contained a scalloped circle.
And maybe, just maybe, there will be something in it for you, too!
