I've been going through photos from past jobs and found this one.

I like the Anvil line. It works for a lot of different design themes.Ok that is WEIRD. I just got a photo reminder from Facebook of something I had framed, and it used that exact moulding!
Here's another fun one.
This was from 2011.
A co-worker in the building is a huge Prince fan.
The ticket was from a concert 5 years before his untimely death.
She saved one piece of confetti from the concert. (The larger piece under the etched symbol.)
I made some smaller confetti from purple craft paper.
I etched Princes "squiggle" symbol on the glass for an extra bit of interest.
The material was that Taffy line from several years ago.
Don't look at the corners too closely.
I really liked the bright high gloss colours, but the finish chipped so bad I stopped displaying the samples.
I don't know what the matt is. I pulled it out of my "waste" pile. JUSTIFICATION FOR MATT HORDING !

I used to do acid glass etching as a hobbyist/market vendor.Great look. The mat is an old Crescent. Something like 4806, or 48406. I still have a couple of scraps somewhere.
Have you etched the glass on other projects, too?
Ok, I'll put together a little blurb and post it sometime next week.I have never done acid glass etching. Care to give some instruction, step by step procedure, materials needed? If so, post on the main forum! I can see some possibilities and others might as well.
I had a small collection of fingernail polish that I used to do touch-ups on the corners of the few Taffy frames I cut.Some of the Taffy colors were horrible to cut. However, I have the green version in my house and the corners were perfect.
Somewhere, I have a cut off as well.......might even be 5’
Larson Juhl makes Anvil.
The particular item in Mary Beth's and my sample photos is #288615
The other finishes in the Anvil line are nice too.
They stack together very well with each other (and other mouldings as well) for some really unique "aged industrial" design themes.
Also added a rust-colored wash to the one with the rivets.
That sounds cool. Do you have pictures?Anvil is also fun to refinish. I have sprayed it solid glossy black and also flat matte white. Also added a rust-colored wash to the one with the rivets.
Thanks. I have been going through LJs moulding lines looking for new mouldings to add. I had looked at anvil but LJs photos of this line leave a bit to be desired so I passed it by. Now its on my list to order for next week.
Do you have their Carbon frames? There are two, and they look like charred wood. Beautiful.
Another favourite of mine!Do you have their Carbon frames? There are two, and they look like charred wood. Beautiful.
Oh my goodness, I'm sorry to hear about your house fire.I dunno. No offense, but having lived through a house fire, I just can't imagine why anyone would want a burned-looking frame in their house. That profile creeps me out big time.
People with real burned frames come in to have new frames on their art.
*shaking my head*

The Anvil line is one of my favorites! I wish I had more finished pics, but heres a visualizer preview I saved where I was using it. Living by the beach, I like that it reminds me of rusty portholes on ships and put it on paintings of many docks!
I don't remember what SKU this is, I think it's a Crescent matt?

That's awsome!one more from Chester (seems like I've been using them a lot lately, huh?) This one is a custom depth shadow box; the art is a mask by the artist Hebru Brantley
