Glass Etching & Resin

Im currently experimenting with glass etching. I feel that my first attempt went really well and I am very excited to experiment with this technique further! I plan to experiment with different types of leaves and typography to see what effects i can achieve. 


 I plan to progress into etching onto different materials such as mirrors and acrylic. Continuing the clear ice-like theme, i have decided to design frames for some of my etched pieces using resin. I did a few small sample tests to see what effects i could achieve.

 I pressed different letters and leaves into clay to create raised areas of the mould. I then made a plaster copy of the design to create a mirror of the mould, so the piece would be the correct way round once made. I experimented with adding small leaves, cut out lettering and splashes of ink into the resin to see what worked well.
