I am looking for a cluster of grapes to etch on a glass wine bottle. I also could use wedding bells, or two wedding rings, or any other wedding vectors. I have searched this site, as well as brands of the world, and nothing! Thanks! Quadi

I am in need of wedding vectors such as wedding bells or double wedding rings to etch on champagn glasses. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Quadi

I have tried every contribution concerning vectorizing. I have had success in the past but simply cannot move my eps. or svg. file made in Inkscape to SBD. I have been at it for 2 hours. I also cannot import the jpg. file to vectorize it. Someone, please help. Thanks. Quadi

Thanks for your replies. I found another way to get the result I wanted.

When I have traced the file in Inkscape, and click "save as" and try to save it an an eps file, a screen pops up that says I have to save it as a svg.file or I will lose the data. ??? I am totally confused.

I sandblast these mugs all the time, and I wholesale them for $6.00 each, or retail for $10.00. If I make a mask for something special, I charge $12.00. The stores to which I wholesaLE charge $14.95. As far as removing all the tape and masking, soak them in a bucket of water for about 15 minutes and the tape will actually fall off, and the vinyl will peel away easily.

I normally do not have trouble vectorizing going through inkscape. For some reason, I cannot get this one done. There is a file I titled historic.eps, but when I try to upload it into SBE it tells me that the file cannot be opened. I can't understand why one time I can vectorize, and the next time I can't. Thanks for any help you may offer! I have also looked this page over and cannot seem to upload my image. When I click on the icon it loads but I can't figure out how to load it. Help!!!!!

Great job Toolman! I started with an air eraser, advanced to a blasting cabinet, and am about to purchase the pencil blaster. I am addicted to etching glass. I am ready to start selling all the stuff I have etched.

I have tried (and tried; then tried again ) to vectorize this logo through inkscape, then saving it to an eps file. I can find the file but I cannot get it transferred into SBD so I can cut it. Nor am I able to open the file that I have found. Can someone help me, please? I need to cut 40 of these before tomorrow. Your help would be greatly appreciated. I am attaching the jpg. file. Quadi

Manwayvan, thanks again for your help. The eps cut beautifully and I had the forty decals whipped out in nothing flat. :)

Thanks, Manwayvan. It oppened beautifully. It seems to need some clean up. I will see how it cuts and let you know. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, maybe someone else will come to the rescue. In the meantime I am reading all I can about vectorizing in Inkscape.

A black square box appears in my SBD files but it does not open. Thanks.

I guess I had also better look and see who has offered the help. Sorry about that manwayvan. I opened the file in SBD but it appeared in about 10 different shades of black and grey. :) Thanks, anyway.

:)Thanks, Speeddoggy! I really appreciate the help. I am trying. Question. When I open a jpg in Inkscape, trace bit map, delete original then save I have been saving in eps. But when I get ready to close Inkscape, it wants to save the image in SVG or else I will lose data. Should I save in eps anyway, then close without saving the file to Inkscape?

Thanks, Speeddoggy. Now I am unable to find that file either unless I close out, go to search, and type in eps files. Then I find it but can't find it in order to upload it. :-

Can someone please help me with this. I downloaded this for a client in a different state. The image was missing part of the oval at the top. I used inkscape and changed the image from a jpg. to and eps. file, but it will not open in SB as anything but a jpg. file. When I try to import it into SB the image does not transfer so that I can vectorize it??? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!! PS I have tried to attach image, but all I get is [img.]. What do I do with that?

Thanks, Scott! I contacted Drakesis and he was able to clean up the file and eps. for me. I had tried until I was about to lose it, so I finally decided to let someone help me. Drakesis' price was very reasonable and the file cut very, very clean. Thanks

I finally managed to get the image vectorized. I scanned it into SB, then went into 'iage' monochromed it, then vectorized it. However, it is not clean at all, and I still need help with it. I still am having trouble uploading into this sight. will try again. Thanks.[/img]

These aluminum water bottles are available at most Walmart Super Stores. I saw them yesterday in three different colors for $3.00 each.

I have made a number of different decals, and have used a semi-opaque transfer tape that works well for the transfer, but it curls on the corners from the base paper. I find this not too impressive when selling decals. Anyone out there who can suggest another taper that will stay flat until the decal is transferred? Thanks. Quadi

Thanks, jhelms.

Thanks, Speedoggy. I appreciate it.

Schramm, I ahve been looking at your posts for quite some time now. You do amazing work. I personally like the all black (larger size), but then I would because I am a silhouette artist and black and white really appeals to me. I have learned a lot from you concerning glass etching. Check out my website www.azsilhouetteartist.com. I will be opening a store online in which I will be offering personalized silhouettes etched in glass. Quadi

I have watched this video several times, but am not able to see what is happenng becaue the print is so small, and the demonstration is way too fast for begiiners. I would like to be able to vectorize my own clip art. Any suggestions?
