For years, the allure of glass etching had been tugging at my creative curiosity. I’d taken the first step by acquiring a bottle of Armour Etch, yet it lingered on a shelf amidst my crafting supplies, untouched and waiting for the day I’d muster the courage to embark on this artistic quest.

I’ve seen what machines can accomplish with glass etching but I’m also aware of how expensive and complex it is to do. After watching several videos on how to accomplish glass etching using Armour Etch I finally cast aside my hesitation and gave it a whirl.

As some of you may have noticed, I tend to adopt a “go big or go home” ethos. Thus, I embarked on my glass etching journey with a design that held great personal significance, fully aware of the potential complexities that lay ahead.

A catalyst for this undertaking was my prior acquisition of delicately etched glass jars from a vendor at a convention. It was upon discovering the ideal third component to complement this ensemble at a local thrift shop that I resolved to seize the opportunity and finally bring my vision to life.

For those curious about the genesis of this project, I invite you to revisit my original blog post where I shared my creative odyssey: the meticulous crafting of a Hobbit diorama nestled within the expanse of the largest glass jar.

In the second medium size jar I still plan on holding homemade Lembas bread and now the newest smaller jar will hold additional snacks.
