I think this is awesome. Nerd-tastic, in fact! For a nerd like me, I'd need one in binary that read, "Will you marry me?" If she couldn't read it - it wasn't meant to be.

Thanks! That's a fantastic idea - at 8 characters each with a space in the middle, it could work beautifully as a pair!

I think I'll have to make some! :)

This is brilliant! Heheh, only the binary-initiated will be able to decipher its true meaning. :D

I made the original one for my husband for valentine's day! :)

Bawww, how sweet! :D

It's on his desk now with the coffee cup on it ... I should make him a new one next year that says CAFFEINE!

Not only is it geeky, it looks amazing!

Thank you!

The best thing about this, I think, is that even if you can't read it or would never even realise you were meant to, it looks all modern art-y. So it's still pretty to the uninitiated :D

That was what I was hoping. Yay!

How in the world do you fuse glass? Did you have a mold or...pour sand, erm. I love this project, it's really neat. I just can't figure out for the life of me how you did it. Black magic?

janecameron May 6 2011, 22:05:15 UTC

Not quite black magic, but definitely special equipment ( ... )

That does help, and it sounds like a lengthy process but the end product is definitely worth it!
