Engraving Etching
Glass Etching Machine
Before you can go about using a glass etching machine to create a pattern on a smooth surface, you are going to need to understand the process. First of all, engraving is used for a number of different reasons! It could be for the purpose of creating a memorable piece of art, or it could simply be to create a decoration for a house. Either way, there are two steps required for the engraving process, and the first step is preparation.
Before you use any engraving machines it would be best for you to sketch your pattern on a piece of paper so that you will have a basic idea as to what you want it to look like. This initial sketch will does not need to be to scale, though once you finish your sketch you can feel free to create a secondary that will serve as your scale model. Once you feel comfortable sketching, you can take up your glass etching machine and begin the process of etching.
You won't be using the glass material yet of course, as you will want to practice with scraps before you move on to the real thing. You might feel as if you are on the fast track to nowhere, but take heart in knowing that even the professionals go through this process. Engraving machines can often be unpredictable, and you will want to gain some experience with yours and the engraving that you will be creating.
Engraving machines will require an engraving cutter, particularly if you are using a dremel. You can find these cutters virtually anywhere, though it would be best to look in a home improvement store. Note that these cutters come in different sizes, and the size will determine the width of the engraving. Experiment with different sizes until you find the one you want!
Once you get some practice in, you will be ready to begin your work with the glass etching machine, and before you know it you will produce a beautiful work of art. Remember that going slow is key when creating an engraving. You might be in a hurry to see the finished product, but by going slow you will produce a much better engraving, and it will be something that you can create pride in. Once you get a bit more experience under your belt you will find that you can move a bit faster, and you may even create more intricate designs. You never know just what you'll be able to do when it comes to engraving, and before you know it, you might even find yourself rivaling the professionals! You never know until you try, and today is as good a day as any.

Im looking for a place or site where they can engrave a design on my earrings, Im looking to have my own design on it so where do i go or get it from?
A trophy shop, like sports trophies, they have engraving equipment. And if they can't do it they will generally know someone local who does "hand" engraving.
