Project Steps

1. This design was etched in stages. The technique allows you to use a particular stencil image, like these crests and bows, multiple times on the same project when you don't have enough to etch all simultaneously.
2. After preparing the glass, draw a centerline down the back. Turn the plate so the line is horizontal and level. Draw a second cnterline to divide the plate into quarters. See the centerline tutorial if necessary.
3. Turn the plate around to the front and place one crest on each centerline on the outside rim of the plate.
4. Place a bow on either side of the crests.
5. Put the lion in the center of the plate along one of the centerlines.
6. Follow the etching cream instructions to etch the crests and loin onto the glass.
7. Redraw the centerlines on the back of the glass with the lines running between the crests already on the glass.
8. On the front of the glass place 4 crests on the outer rim along the centerline again and bows on either side where there is not currently one.
9. Over the top of the lion place the banner stencil.
10. Follow the etching cream instructions to etch the crests and banner onto the glass.
11. Put the banner stencil under the lion.
12. Follow the etching cream instructions to etch the crests and banner onto the glass.
