Editorial Reviews

From Amazon.com
The authors of this lovely addition to the Weekend Crafter series believe that glass etching is the ultimate simplicity-seeker's craft, a process that achieves beauty through the art of removal. In other words, by applying one of the new, safe etching creams or liquids over a masked-out pattern to take away part of the glass surface, even beginners can create beautiful pieces that successfully mimic the look of old-fashioned glass etchings--the kind that generally require harmful chemicals or expensive blasting equipment. With complete pattern templates and excellent step-by-step instructions (each accompanied by an individual how-to photo), the book offers 20 projects ranging from glasses, bottles, canisters, and drawer pulls to a punch bowl set, table, and room divider. A gallery of artist-created pieces provides further inspiration. --Amy Handy
