Tutorial: Etched Glass Bakeware

    I worked on this today after realizing that so much of my bakeware is missing or has to belong to someone else because it doesn't look familiar at all.  After this project, my bakeware will be a memorable item that will get back to me even if I forget it at a friend's house.


    If you saw my paper pendant tutorial, then you might be thinking, "Dang, she likes the pi symbol."  It's true.  I'm going to attribute it to missing my students and classroom.  In this case though, I think it's pretty clever.  A pie pan with a pi symbol!

After the jump you can see a full tutorial with pictures of how to make your own.  It's so easy and inexpensive!

My name is Katie, and I have a Pyrex problem

   It's true.  I am really into Pyrex.  To be fair, I do a lot of cooking so I like to have amazing serving dishes.  Also, I am in charge of Thanksgiving.  I think that alone is justification for all of my Pyrex.

   I started collecting it a year ago when I went to the Kane County flea market for the first time, and have steadily added to my collection since.  "The Pyrex Lady" and I are good friends and she sets aside good stuff for me.

After the jump you can get a closer look at my favorite ones.
