I admit, I had a 'Dragon Phase' in my art during my High School days, and came up with a number of my own passable designs. Here, I try to show one that was traced onto the side of a wine glass (by others), which I made a small number of to sell at art fairs. Due to the 3D nature of the piece, and that the design wrapped around the diameter of the glass, it may not be entirely well shown here.

Thanks, for the comment and fave. Generally, a good etching doesn't make non-tempered glass any weaker than before. That said, the method I use has a greater risk for cutting too deep than chemical etching, and some of my early pieces broke on me when I made them, or show cracks under some of the heavier lines. Don't try this with tempered glass: it may explode.
