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.’

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
