Glass etching

Hello everypony Bronychan1214 here and today I would like to talk about art. I have always loved art and any art class that I have been in. But Last entry I discussed about my glass etching session in one of my art classes. I have just learned to love this art so much and I have decided to buy some supplies and do it myself. But I need a job so I can afford everything and even though I have not even tried to get one (since I can't) I know it will be a hard thing to achieve. Anyway I have finished the eagle for the project that I had to do. And I was the only on in the class to get a perfect A+. I would like to do more of this but I am not completely sure on what to do. I know I wanna do derpy hooves, Rainbow dash, and Vinyl scratch. But once I say that I have all the supplies to do it I will ask you guys for suggestion and maybe make a separate art blog to show them off. I have no good camera's to show off the eagle witch really sucks. But once I get a camera and some supplies I will take request (just not now)

 

I think that was the longest part of something I have typed yet....But I have to change the subject into something I have said before. Still asking around for good animating software's. I would prefer if they were free and also virus free. I have already tried pivot and stykz but I have not liked the animation from either of them. Hopefully I could post some my animations on here to :D!

 

Well basically just an art post today hope yah liked it.

Feeling very artsy

Glass etching is fun. My wife futzes around with that on occasion. I assume you're doing acid etching, rather than the more brutal sandblaster-style?

Neither of those... I was using a knife to cut out a drawn picture and paint it with frost paint.

 

It sounds so small now

Oh, no, that's just fine. That's how you start, and there always has to be a beginning! And the art well is deep, so there's always further you can delve if you feel like it. :)

 

Once you're comfy with the frost paint and cutting your own stencils (like you're doing now), you can experiment with etching fluid (which is a special acid that attacks glass). Stuff like this: http://glass-etching-kits.com/. It works pretty much the way you're doing things now, except that it cuts into the glass rather than building up on the surface. That way it can't rub off later. It's really just another tool you can add to your arsenal. :)
