handicraft weekend

oh no... one more week before Dennis's ROM and we stil haven managed to get the wedding toasting flutes to turn out rite, sigh... wanted to give them a pair of personalised champagne glasses with their names and the ROM date etched on, using the glass etching cream. bt duno y end up buying 2 tubes of the cream and stil doesnt work. the 1st one was too creamy, the second one got the "matt rough" feel of etched on bt it doesnt stay on even aft one nite of curing it as the words can be peeled off aft contact with water. v disappointed and sad cos spent abt two weekends researching, buying and cutting the stencils etc. and stil doesnt work... actuali the effect is quite nice, just tt its not waterproof, which i duno y cos the stupid website of the product claims it can last "numerous times"... arghhhh.... and their proj sheet can illustrate until so many colours and designs. dun undst y anyone would spend so much effort if cant wash?!?!?!?




anyway, tis is how the glass look lk aft the etching...
