My Yellow Flame She Dances...

The best part about working here at Naptown Etching is creating things not just for customers or friends but also for myself.  I have been wanting to try out painting in reverse for a candleholder and I decided to create something that would match either my office or my bedroom (same color walls, I'm boring.)  As always for inspiration I looked for a light quote and then it hit me... My yellow flame she dances...

When in doubt, I look to Dave Matthews Band, and I always find inspiration.

Rough Day Wine Glass

A good friend of Naptown Etching, Kelly Anderson of T&T Promotions sent me a picture of a glass she found on Pinterest.  She wanted the same verbiage but a different look and asked what I could do.

I decided the glass wasn't near big enough for what the message was saying, if you've had a

 "Don't Even Ask" kind of day... you need more than 8oz of wine.  I also felt the writing needed to more accurately describe the mood.  Below is what we came up with... a 20oz white or red wine glass that is for anyone who has had "one of those days."  You can contact me directly at 317-733-8776 to order your pair of glasses for only $25.00 and personalization is available on the opposite side!

Basketball Award - Optic Crystal Pyramid

Naptown Etching's primary focus is corporate awards and gifts, we love to create unique recognition pieces and our awards have been shipped all over the world.  Recently however a local customer wanted to create a recognition piece and we decided to use optic crystal which although is a more costly item, it's beauty and character are amazing.  The customer gave us a budget and we worked to find an item in our warehouse inventory that matched and would be a very unique item.

Dave Matthews Band - Lie In Our Graves - Wooden Keepsake Box

Sometimes you just need something special to keep your possessions in.  You want something unique, personal and all yours... That's what I was looking to do and that's exactly what I did. If you know me (Ashley) you know I love Dave Matthews Band and it is with their lyrics that I came up with my grand idea!

*Lie In Our Grave Lyrics by Dave Matthews Band on a Wooden Box estimated pricing $32.00

 I've always been in love with the lyrics for "Lie in our Graves" it has such a deep meaning so when I was trying to decide what to etch, this came across my mind and I knew it was exactly what I wanted.

Opening Day Otter Box - St. Louis Cardinals

Last week we had a great call, an avid St. Louis Cardinals fan inquired if we are able to etch on a cell phone case.  We let him know we hadn't done it before but we would be happy to try.  He didn't want a sticker, he wanted something permanent and he knew we were unsure of what the outcome would be but trying it was worth it in his eyes!  He showed up wearing a throw-back Cardinals tee and was anxious to etch his case.  We were all thrilled with the outcome!  His daughter's favorite part was watching our laser work even though she was upset he wouldn't etch "Hello Kitty" into his phone, she still enjoyed it!

We weren't sure how the case would etch, so when it began burning the white to a gold color we were all impressed.  The etching wasn't revealing an inner layer but instead charring the white to an iridescent gold. Impressive!

Etched Gun Magazine

Last night we were able to help a former U.S. Military Engineer customize a magazine for his personal firearm.  This was a first time for us etching a piece of a gun and although we were skeptical as to how it would turn out... we are impressed with the final product.

This particular project included etching on 4 sides at $10.00 per side and a $20.00 

art set-up fee.

Wood Self Balancing Wine Bottle Holder

Ernest Hemingway is an American literature icon...and we couldn't agree more with his stance on wine.
