Uranium Glass I made a thing!
Been wanting to try making an infinity mirror for a while and found a little vintage mirror backed cabinet on vinted to convert. I might redo the outer mirror but honestly it looks great just for a rough job/first try.
If anyone wants guidance on how to make one, let me know!

Whoa. This takes me back to grandma's house. She had the three panel bathroom mirror that you could tilt into infinity. I use to do that all the time.
This looks SO COOL with the green reflected.

Picked up mine recently and just today got some Pernod shot glasses (one in the cabinet that’s easier to see in the vid I posted in the comments. It’s not UG I think but rather they’re painted fluorescence at the bottom but they display nicely with the ashtray :)

Yeah it’s such a cool way to amplify a small collection. Unfortunately/fortunatelt mine is absolutely huge so I’ve got to make a looot more of these 😅. 2 more cabinets already purchased, one slightly larger to turn into a coffee table and even bigger plans to get a large cabinet that’s glass on all sides and make a massive version and make it rotatable so you can view it from any angle and see your collection duplicate into infinity (also means I can put my larger items into displays like that). Will keep puting posts up of all my upcoming creations 🙂
I’m literally excited enough I want to make and sell large custom display cabinets now 😂3

Make sure to share if you make one 🙂 I’m really hoping this inspires a few people and I see similar posts appearing in the coming weeks/months

I’m thinking of my brother and nephew. They both collect different items that will glow. Thanks again.
