I played around with some water colors as well. It adds an awesome color illusion without consuming the essence of the etching, and when the glitter completely dries, you can still see the etching! I purchased glitter sticks and strategically put some glitter to outline it but also left some of the etched lines bare without glitter. I found and scaled the design I wanted for a customer, transferred the design onto the glass using transfer paper and then etched each design on each side.
This time she etched them with Winnie the Pooh designs and experimented with glitter sticks and watercolors to make a light colored glass blocks. Making DIY decorative glass block crafts are a growing idea to personalize, and etching them is one of the best ways to accomplish this. The blades can be installed single or double glazed.Cynthia’s custom etched glass block craft project of Winnie the Pooh.I am happy to post another etching project that Cynthia Gladis-Johnson shared with us! You can find her other DIY candle holder project here. U glass can be used in straight and curved applications and the channels can be fixed horizontally or vertically. It can be used internally and externally and is a very popular glazing solution selected by architects because of its unique, aesthetic characteristics. It is commonly referred to as ‘channel glass’ and each individual length ‘a blade’. Cast in sheet form whilst still molten, it is rolled and the side wings are formed to create a U shaped profile.
It can be constructed similarly to masonry block-work walls or can be fitted like wall cladding. Translucent concrete can be used internally & externally. Having the strength benefits, aesthetical appeal & versatility of concrete as you know, but incorporating optical fibres in the manufacturing process, allows daylight & artificial light transmittance.
