The idea for the set came from seeing an image on here of letters in 
sand, so I used that technique. That involved taking a free chess font 
called Alpha, giving it a gaussian blur in Paint Shop Pro, and using it 
as a hightfield to carve out the three sides of a cube thats on its point.
So looking through the glass, you're seeing the indentation on the other 
   side.
Hope this explains it, if not, keep asking me more questions :)

Don't worry about the chess, an off the shelf computer program (Deep 
Junior) almost beat Garry Kasparov.
