Making the Dream Big Glass Etching in LED Edge-lit Frame

This was a project that took me 2 years to get to, and it ended up being a very different project from the original idea of a wood carving! The idea came to me when a random conversation made me think of glass exit signs that are lit from the top.

So why not create my own edge-lit LED frame to see if I could get a similar effect on a glass etching?
