Etching the afternoon away

After having a go at glass etching last week my daughter showed interest in learning how. Always being up for crafting we arranged an afternoon and settled for today and I even offered to light the bbq to cook dinner tonight. 

It rained and was cold enough to put even me off bbq so we ate indoors. It didn’t however put us off spending time crafting. We cut our stencils out of oracle 651 vinyl on the Cricut. Even had the granddaughters pressing buttons as needing and watching the machine cut. 

It must of all gone well as my daughter wants to come back and do more coasters or something another day. 

She made the fairy one and I made the butterfly one. Both went home with my daughter as she loved them. 


What is also cool about these is the shadow effect the etching causes in the light. 
Discussed a lot of ideas on what we could etch and what to do next so I think it’s safe to say I have gained a new crafting partner :-)
