Glass Block

Recommended Posts

OK...they aren't the best pictures, but here it is.

We blasted the front side of it with the saying and the snow man.  We painted the block with red paint but left the snowman unpainted.  Then, we blasted the back side of it and then painted the sky with blue krylon.  It looks a lot better in real life than in pictures.

Hi Jay!  That is actually blasted and painted.  This is the front and back of the same block.

On the front, we laid the reverse of the image (we just cut it on scrap vinyl) and sandblasted the saying and the snowman.  Then, he taped the snowman off and then painted the lettering with red krylon.

On the back side, we laid the positive of the  image and blasted everything around it so that the house and trees are clear.  We (ok, he) painted the part that was blasted with blue krylon.  We probably could have just painted the blue and not blasted, but he likes to sandblast, so what the heck!  It looks funky in the pics, but it looks really cool in person!

Happy new year!
