Sometimes the emphasis is more subtle … yet boldly personal.
See these glasses in tablescapes HERE and HERE. |
Then I selected a design to use for my stencil … sized it to the glasses … and cut 8 of them out of a thin vinyl.
I adhered each stencil to a transfer paper (bottom layer in this pic) …
In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

Susan,
Your glasses are great! I love the pattern you used. Nice project.
Sherry
Your glasses are so beautiful! I’m sure your daughter will enjoy your lovely gift!

Oh those are gorgeous. I am sure she was thrilled. Beautiful pattern. Hugs, Marty
Wow I love to learn how to do this. I will be thrilled if I can do it in my glasses and personalize it. Thanks for sharing.
I’m sharing this with KC. I’ve already bought her a set of these same tumblers from DT…and she loves birds…and she’s quite crafty…and….and …and Thank you! Cherry Kay
This is great…I have enough dishes for now but my stem ware is boring..so I am going to put this on my to do list this year…fun, fun!
Thanks!
Enjoy 2012….I am ready for a calmer year also…or may I say, a calmer decade! What are the chances?
I had no idea that “regular people” could etch glass themselves. Your glasses are beautiful! What a blessing.
Thanks for stopping by Ducks n a Row…Hope we’ll be seeing each other again soon. If you like Blog Hops and Linky Parties I host my own on Wednesdays and link with another on Fridays! Please join us!
Happy New Year!

I’m glad you’re getting “your” year!
Wow!! I need to know more about these Silhouettes!!! These turned out great! How cool is that?! Happy new year! ~Zuni
Susan, I hope that you savor each and every precious moment the Lord gives you this 2012 and many years to come.
Much love,
Marcia
I have just read every post that I had missed in my absence and enjoyed them so much. I think my favorite was the one about the staircase. I have long wanted to see that. I loved the way you compared it to the arrival of Jesus in our lives. That was just beautiful to me, and I can relate.
I used to have some glassware etched with our initial, but over the years, several pieces got broken. I would love to do this project.
I wasn’t looking forward to 2012, to be honest. Sooner or later, though, that little engine that could that lives inside of me always starts revving its engine, and this year is no exception. I’ve been “tidying up” my point of view in the past days and am now ready to face the year ahead with eagerness and determination. Expect more Sallies!
Wow! Those glasses are awesome!
So glad you’ve made it to 2012 and it’s your year!
The scripture you posted was just for me. Thanks!
What a beautiful gift Susan and one I know she will treasure always! I have always loved patterned glassware but somehow never have purchased any. Would it sound strange to say that there is a part of me that feels I don’t deserve something so special and personalized? Weird huh?! 🙂 My plain Jane practical side always wins out. But now I’m going to give myself permission to find something special like the ones you made your daughter…maybe I’ll add that to my Sally List! Which, by the way, we are going to be doing a post about some of the things we have checked off of ours so far. We’ll let you know when we will be posting it! Thanks for sharing at Inspiration Friday and sorry for the ridiculously long comment. LOL!

Would be great to do for a bride and groom for their wedding etch bride in one glass then groom into the other. And you could do the wording in cursive. 🙂
I assume they are wash able,but will you loose the etching
Lucy, etching is a process that actually changes the surface of the glass, so, NO you don’t lose the etching when washing these glasses! (When wet, the design seems to disappear, but it’s still there, so don’t be concerned.)
When you make your etched glasses, feel free to send a picture. (Close-up, flash off works best.) I’d love to see them. Good luck!
