hello, i have been looking into the various glass etching proceses which users of this group directed me to and have realised this is a very complex art form which has many different forms. I am a total newbee and wish to produce large simple designed shapes on mirror measuring aproximatly 1 metre square for table tops. I do require a good clean edge but am unconcerned about the length of time it takes to produce the piece and am willing to cut the pattern by hand since i have simplistic designs which do not require much skill or slight of hand. i do not have the money to invest in expensive high tech techniques or the time to learn them and am looking for "the cheats guide to large scale simplistic design glass etching". can somebody advice me if a suitable technique exists and if so what materials i should try using and where i can obtain materials for designs on this scale????....are materials sold on the roll??...i want of course to keep costs as cheap as possible as i plan to start a production run of table tops. Maybe i am being a bit too optomistic hoping that there is a method which suits my needs and abillitys but would apreciate advise if anyone knows of a suitable method many thanks in advance...........especially to those who have already advised.
