A few weeks ago, I tried glass etching for the first time. It was an idea I had seen on Pinterest a few times, so when I was at HobLob with my mom one day, we picked up the needed supplies. If you are considering trying glass etching, you need patience (if you are a perfectionist) and the ability to breathe out of your mouth only for a few minutes because the etching acid smells like rotten eggs...trust me....it's gag-worthy.
Since this was my first time trying this process, NO ONE is allowed to judge. I know it's not perfect, but I will keep practicing.
Remember...no judgement....please.... :)
step 1: cut out your pattern in vinyl & stick vinyl to glass
step 2: apply etching cream of choice & plug your nose
step 3: follow directions on bottle (mine said leave on for 5 minutes)
step 4: rinse off all cream, remove vinyl and ta-da!
It doesn't look terrible does it?! I think it will be juuust fine. I don't really think what is on the outside of the dish matters as much as what is on the inside of the dish :) which makes me think about food, which is making me hungry...mmm.
By the way...my parents got me a Cricut machine for my birthday and I looove it! I haven't made much, but what I have made, I'm pretty proud of! Here are just a few things...

quote by Einstein that my mom loves
I want to make some more boards with quotes on them, maybe even use canvas instead. I need to get on Pinterest for some more ideas! Speaking of Pinterest, if you don't have the app, you are MISSING OUT! I finally got my mom signed up, showed her the gist of it, and she's hooked. Next thing she'll want is a Twitter....lawd. ;)
That's all I have for now!
Loveee,
Holly
