Hi Pam,

    This may sound pretty off the wall but here's a very low tech way to
    achieve a frosted (sand-blasted) look on metal -- and I can't see why
    it wouldn't work on glass.  Obtain some beach sand; put the object on
    the floor with a chair next to it (and a drop cloth under it); stand
    on the chair and let handfuls of sand trickle in a steady stream down
    onto the object.  Don't laugh:  Try it! 

Beth
