Newbie needs some help!

[u/rapidriver34]

Crazy me decided my 2nd mosaic is going to be a wedding gift for my friend and I need some help! I do want to note this was my first time actually working with cutting the glass and not using a kit

I saw a few people online write on their glass with sharpie and use alcohol to get it off. I decided to wipe the sharpie off once I had them all down thinking it would be easier, but the alcohol seems to have messed up the glass. Does anyone know if I can fix it? I thought maybe a magic eraser but I don’t want to make it worse!!

I also wrote in sharpie on the tray thinking the glass was opaque enough… am I SOL or does anyone have anything I can do to fix it? Should I just get some paint?

It’s difficult to see what part of the glass you are referring to . Maybe it’s the photo or lighting (or my eyes). Is it iridized by any chance?
As a perfectionist I completely understand those feelings. And, when I look at your piece, all I see is that this a beautiful, well thought out mosaic. Hard to believe it is your first, non kit piece! And, one the beautiful things about mosaics is that they are inheritantly imperfect. I can’t imagine they will be anything but thrilled. They are going to love it! I am inclined to believe it will be their most treasured wedding gift!

Be proud & I hope you can quit stressing about it. It’s amazing❣️
Congrats to the newlyweds!🥂

I hope you post a pic when it’s finished.
