HELP!!! Trying to use pics for etching gift...

Post by nik_9011 »

My mother in law turns fifty next week so I thought I would do a glass etching of her two grandchildren. I got them turned into svg's in inkscape but I dont know how to "clean them up" well enough for etching. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! I can't seem to upload them because it says the file is too big...can anyone tell me how to upload them first? Thanks!

Here is a list of tutorials so you can find the one you need, but I will tell you that is a pretty difficult task to get a picture to look good in etching. You will need to get it in black and white stencil format (no bridging necessary, the vinyl can take care of that.
