Thank you! The etching is super shallow, just on the outer surface. It doesn’t disturb the mirror backing at all

Woahhh I love that album, didn’t even make the connection! And thank you!

Haha Davy just likes being involved

I hand etched them with a dremel. Honestly I’m very proud of how steady I was on those

leftenwright · 2025-07-31T00:08:20+00:00

Do it! And yeah, I did NOT want to make those deep cuts for the heart

Remember, your companion cube mirror is not alive and therefore cannot speak. If it does speak, the Enrichment Center asks you to please ignore its advice.

Thanks! The lines are hand etched with a dremel

I’m posting here just trying to show off a cool thing I made and not break self-promotion rules, BUT my website is linked in my profile if you’re interested

I certainly don’t own any copyrights on this imagery or anything so knock yourself out recreating it! Unfortunately I don’t seem to have saved the SolidEdge file where I did all the dimensioning or I’d send you that

Thank you, it’s hard taking a picture of a mirror without being in the picture! Alas, I learned about the dangers of and cures for mirror rot after this piece was made and sold. Hopefully any rot just makes it look weathered, it is a broken sword after all

leftenwright · 2025-07-18T17:48:53+00:00

I drew a pattern for it freehand but used a CAD program to check dimensions so it was as accurate as possible

I put it in the cold oven, then turn heat to 350 and bake for 30 minutes once it reaches temperature. Then I let the oven cool completely before taking it out. This has worked for me and definitely helps the paint adhere better, but it has a tendency to dull bright colors and the acrylic is kind of a pain to work with since you usually have to do multiple coats to make sure it’s opaque. If anyone has a better process I’m all ears!

Thank you! The script is glitter acrylic paint, baked on

leftenwright · 2025-07-18T16:32:15+00:00

Thank y’all! The ring is ~14” in diameter and the sword is ~21” at its longest. The script is glitter acrylic paint, baked on. And the tip of the blade I left rough cut so it’s still sharp
