Techniques and processes- Glass Etching

This technique basically involved me having a sheet or pane of glass and using a rotary tool with different attachment to draw and etch into the glass. There is quite a lot of variables within this technique, the main ones being speed of the tool, size and type of the tool, pressure applied and the angle being used.
It requires you to hold almost like a large pen and quite firmly as it feels like it could slip and run away. This technique would be quite good in a light application and possibly detailed designs.
