A lesson in using the sandblaster today.
First of all I cut 12 small squares of glass, then piecing them back together I stuck some sticky backed vinyl all over them.
I then drew a basic flower image that I had found on the
internet.
Next, I cut the lines out of the flowers with a sharp craft
knife. The parts I cut away were the parts that I wanted blasted by sand.
The sticky backed vinyl wasn’t
quite sticky enough, so I started again with strips of masking tape which was a
bit stronger.
Once I had given them a good
blast in the sandblaster, I removed them from the tape, cleaned them off and
started to wrap each square in copper foil.
Not the neatest work I have done, but I think it looks ok, and shows off the sandblasting nicely.
