It has been a while since I posted and a subscriber who is newer to etching sent me some of her first etchings, so I offered to feature her. A lot of these are Christmas themed projects and are very simple, but they may give you some ideas for the holidays. Her name is Davida Meyer and I believe she eventually wants to learn about sandcarving which I talk about more in the members area.
Here is a sleigh etched on glass which holds a small candle insert inside. You can see the second photo with it lit up. The third one is the other side which shows a whimsical Christmas tree.
Here are her bottles etched with letters. It would be interesting to spell something out like this and light them up with red and green lightbulbs for the holidays.
Here are some of the others she sent over which has a whimsical circle design etched in a jar and a large wine glass.
I wanted to welcome Davida to this hobby and give you some ideas. If you would like to feature your work on here whether simple and advanced etchings, let me know. I noticed some people have been uploading a lot of impressive work which I have to approve. If you have any interesting ideas, please leave a comment.

I’m still looking for someone to do a stencil on my logo! if you were anyone knows who can do a stencil for me please contact me at 210 535 4035 ask for Rob. And I do know that there is a cost involved. Let talk! Thanx, Rob
that is the easiest stencil anyone could do it.
simply take clear contact paper put it on a glass.
trace your design on it with saral transfer paper so it shows up.
carbon paper doesn’t work very good.
cut out the sideways G with an x-acto knife, peel out the white part.
put etching cream on the part you peel out, wait 6 minutes and rinse it off.
if you have a girlfriend she can do it for you with these simple instructions!
good luck
Kim
What size are you looking for and how many do you require?

Hi Rick, you can just send them to me large because I usually scale them down either way.
There is no requirement, but not too many at one time. You can just send 1-4 would be great.
Eric, I’m new here so I gave to ask. Bob is looking for his logo which is the letter G showen or am I missing something?
Opps- sorry. I misunderstood you and didn’t know who you were talking to. I assumed you were asking about featuring photos of your work.
I thought the art work submitted was very nice,was it done with etching cream? I’m new here and am trying to learn as much as possible before jumping in….I’m also going to be trying out creating my stencils with my Cricket.
I’ve found stencils pre made but their small for what I had in mind.
excellent work done by a begginer and it was only possible under your guidance,regards
Hi guys,
All “Davida’s Christmas Themed Etchings” (I am from South Africa) were done with a sandblaster without any guidance, but I must admit that Eric’s site/blog is of great help.
Such a great help that I am now a member !!!
Thank you Eric for all your patience and motivation. Baie dankie.
Greetngs,
Davida
that’s a great idea to make these stencils for Christmas gifts!

I thank all the people that have participated in helping with this project. I hope to have a question someday and hope to get the great answers you people offered!
From classic reindeer prints to crazy fun outerwear see how stars like Kate Hudson and Miley Cyrus are ready to ’tis the season with their ugly Christmas sweaters.
