| Here is an example of what can
be done with a clear glass coffee cup.� You can customize them to your heart's
content. Again, this was done with photo resist.� It is amazing at the detail that you can achieve. You do need to look for cups with a relatively flat curved surface...that sound strange, but you want the curve to only go one direction.� Putting resist on a surface that is curved in two directions, like a ball, doesn't allow the resist to sit smoothly enough to get a good blasting mask. |

This cup is ceramic.� You
can find them at almost any store that carries kitchenware or glassware. The trick here is to blast through the colored ceramic coating on the mug.� It brings the color of the actual ceramic out which is a pale cream color in most cases. It looks very nice and as you can see, you can obtain some very fine detail as well. This is a computer graphic that I created on the computer and simply transferred to photo resist. |
Additionally, you can carve on champagne glasses (be careful, they are thin) candy dishes, flower vases, bowls, and the list just goes on and on.� Your imagination is all that it takes to create something really special and unusual.� Touring the import shops is a great place to find items to blast on - and many are inexpensive enough to provide good practice or trial pieces.
