Using a vinyl cutter and mini-sand blaster I made some alternate universe corporate schwag! I like the idea that someone might have swiped these during an interview before both companies had their ‘accidents.’

If there was a world where aperture actually made them I definitely wouldn’t drink from them.
That’s a good point, probably made of cadnium glass.
cadnium would probably be the least of my worries
I’d assume that the fluids in the glass could be from my own body like an SCP object.
As you empty the glass you notice it slowly refilling itself…but from where?
Autopsy of subject x9 reveals interesting properties where it seems as if the subject was mummified with perfect preservation via instantaneous replacement of all fluids with a gel-like substance. Due to fruitless attempts to make cuts with scalpels and saws, a diamond wirecutter had to be used in order to make cross-sectional dissections.
Excellent! I use glass etching compound for the same effect, but getting it sharp is a hella process. That looks far better.
Looking at sand blasting kits and they’re way cheaper than I thought. What’s your rig and process?
Oops, replied to the wrong comment, in actual answer to your question:
I’m using a Cricut vinyl cutter but would never recommend one to anyone, their locked down cloud app is terrible. After I get a stencil cut I stick it down and then mask off the entire rest of the glass with tape. For a blaster I am using a tiny one that looks like an airbrush, it was ~$100CAD on Amazon. I use a pair of old socks as gloves in the side of a big clear plastic tub they keep the grit inside and let the air out! And that’s about it, I just blast all the exposed glass until it is frosted, I don’t think you can ever blow right through but if I hit one spot for too long there is a step in the glass at the edge of the pattern.
Yeah, stuck with a Cricut as well. Never again.
Going to try a cheap blaster, be a good fit for my other projects and hobbies.
Oof, so the price has gone up but this is what I am using: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B001CJIHFI

Hope you were wearing a proper mask while making these, otherwise…
paper shuffling noises
… Mmmhm, yep, your blood might just turn into gasoline.
Does an old work sock count as a filter? I could use the gasoline though…
Those are some nice glasses.
Those came out really nice
Thanks, the vinyl is a little fiddly to work with but it’s worth the work for one off pieces.
