Hallo,Yup another jar - its the last one I have finished for now and I really should finish off my swaps for the Cruise the next time I get to the craft table (hopefully today) - but we'll see - I have 6 more triangle shaped jars in my craft room . I am interested to try etching and then stamping over that with staz on - I am thinking it would look really cooly 3-D, just so long as the staz on doesn't over power the clear glass.....
Anyway - This cute little jar is one I found on my most recent thrift shop run with my Chief Enabler Pat this week ( we found a GOOD stash of craft stuff at one place this week!!!).
I have done one side with stamps from a 'Flourishes' Christmas set - the reindeer with the lovely flourished antlers and the word JOY.The other side I did with Halloween stamps - 'OL Frank I have had in my stash for so long and used so much over the years that his lable has worn off, therefore I have no idea who made him, same goes for the bat..... After the first round of etching I went back and applied the etching compound again to make it darker - it leaves a little glow of lighter etching around the bat and Frank - me was thinking they should glow spookily in the dark - didn't turn out exactly as I envisioned but I looks great with a candle in it - just couldn't get a decent picture.....that is the only bummer with the glass jars - they really are much cooler IRL - the photos just don't show them as well as I would like.
The last 2 photos I put a green cloth inside the jar to help show off the etching more...All for now
Take Care

Hello! Excellent job on your glass etching!!!! Those jars are awesome! As for plates like I have, check local flea markets and yard sales and estate sales. I find them everywhere! Lately at my local library who has a flea market all the time! Keep up the great work!!!
Oh how pretty Tera! That reindeer jar is just soooo perfect and lovely!
