Hmmm...it's been a long while. Some of you might remember me as Jaz-o-matic but... *peers around*...most of you might not. I haven't forgotten these dear boards, though, just my password (ahem). I've recently discovered a few things this board can't do without.

Neat wine bottle lamps! Maybe more projects to come...?

Those winebottles sound great, but how does one frost a wine bottle?

You can buy etching cream at most craft stores. It's an acid, you have to be cautious and wear gloves and goggles.

You could also use emery cloth, a very fine black sandpaper, to rough up the surface to make it look frosted. An emery board is much coarser.

the hypertufa sounds interesting- i'm looking forward to a site update with a non-cracking version.
