enlarging a small etched block of glass to 2'x2'
Posted: Tue Dec 10, 2013 1:27 am
I have been contacted by an architect to look into creating a lobby piece for his client that would replicate the look of one of the small etched glass paperweights that are laser etched, but to become pretty large - about 24"x24". I was thinking of doing several different plates of glass, and etching some information on each plate, then stacking them in a box, to give the 3-D look of the small block of crystal.
Another thought was to cast an object that was desired, then to cut it into several pieces, and glue those pieces to plates of glass, so they would look like they are floating. I think this might give an interesting 3-D look, as the object would be dimensional to begin with, before being cut apart, and reassembled.
Any other ideas would be appreciated - its a puzzler, and this is the latest piece of the puzzle...
