So I had this idea that I could give a glass bottle an interesting texture by sanding it down. Not wanting to use sand paper and work my fingers to the bone, I decided to go with the more serious method of using a power tool. A Dremel with a sanding bit. Well I guess I didn't really think it through to well, because I ended up covered in glass dust (not good for breathing, impossible to get out of cotton clothing), with a slightly interesting misty, foggy sort of texture on a small part of a bottle, and a dremel sanding bit that won't live to sand another day. It looks quite nice, a lot better than the spray on frosting usually does but I have no idea how I would mask it to give any design hard edges, the mask would be sanded away long before the surrounding glass saw any change.
Tomorrow, I think I'll go to home depot and get another bit, designed for hard surfaces. I might also look into the other notion of setting fire to things (always a good time).
