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.

Contact Naptown Etching at 317-733-8776 or info@naptownetching.com to start your own custom piece.

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.

Etched iPod

My 5 year old niece has been wanting an iPod, so instead of buying her a new one to ruin or lose her mom did the smart thing and searched facebook for people getting rid of theirs.  Low and behold, I found two at my house last week I had lost over the past 3 years.  I offered to give her an old Apple iPod mini 4GB in pink.  Then I had the brilliant idea... why not etch it for the ultimate gift?  

What does a 5 year old love aside from Beiber.....Hello Kitty!  

Personalized iPod $20.00 *graphics are copyrighted and not property of Naptown Etching

So as of today... we are customizing iPods.  They must have the anodized aluminum coating and the owner accepts all responsibility for any damage that may occur while in Naptown Etching's possession. Art charges may occur for any graphics involving the time and customization at $10 per piece. We can work with you to achieve the perfect look to your iPod including: name, contact info, design, monogram and more!

Iron Mike Tyson and The Great Producer Kyle

Here in the office, we are big fans of a few things including: the Indiana Hoosiers, Indiana Pacers and Indianapolis sports talk radio.  Specifically you can find our pals Dan Dakich and Producer Kyle being blasted daily from 12-3 on 1070thefan.com  

Kyle and p. Ashley

Recently we were asked to help create a one of a kind plaque commemorating a big event for our friend, Kyle Knezevich.  On February 13th, Kyle had the opportunity to interview Mike Tyson.  Kyle has been a Golden Gloves boxer and has long looked up to "Iron" Mike's fighting style, this interview was a huge milestone in Kyle's career.  

Special thanks to @Foolatte for her help in supplying the fabulous still photos.

Without hesitation we jumped at the opportunity to create something for our friend.  With the idea stemming to use Iron (for Iron Mike) and Steel (representing Kyle's favorite football team, the Pittsburgh Steelers) for the frame, the creator of this gift supplied us with the base  and Ashley was given free range to do the rest.  After listening to the interview again, Ashley knew she found the quote she wanted for the back.  After looking at Kyle's pictures from his days boxing, Mike Tyson told Kyle:

 “Isn't that an incredible feeling?  

That's an incredible feeling.  

Listen, I respect anybody,

 I don't care if you've been knocked out 99 times, 

anybody that tries real hard, that goes into this thing... 

there are so many idiosyncrasies that's going on. 

More than just throwing a 

punch, so much is going on in here.  

This is where a fight is won and lost. 

Right here, the guy is always bigger, stronger…

everything than you and somehow you win. 

And that's what fighting is, a metaphor for life.”

“Iron”Mike Tyson

Thanks for letting Naptown Etching be a part of such a special gift!

White Wine Wedding

A beautiful wine bottle as a wedding gift with matching glasses!

Hand Painted Wine Bottle

Once a year, Naptown Etching receives a project order for a pretty "super" event.  These bottles are given out as commemorative gifts for people sent to a big football game.  This year's label turned out BEAUTIFULLY!  

The label is removed, the bottle is cleaned, etched, sandblasted and then hand painted.  That's right, look closely, that's not the paper label... that's Neil's handiwork painted on the bottle.

Contact us today for your own bottle.  We can custom design and hand paint a label just for you!

Etched iPad Cover

Etched Leather iPad Cover

Today was a fun day around the office!  I was given the opportunity to design and etch an iPad cover for our customer and was given free reign of the design, location and style.  Fitting her feminine case and persona, I created this scroll with her first initial.

Provided iPad case with $25 leather etching fee.

Etched Coach Wristlet

Most women have a wristlet or two in their closet ready for those occasions they need something smaller than a purse to tote around for the evening.  I had mine in the office recently and was thinking, the back of this tag is ABSOLUTELY perfect to etch my name.  It creates a custom piece out of something you can find at any fine department store.  

Almost any leather provided to Naptown Etching can be customized and these little tags found on Coach bags are the perfect size for a monogram, date or even Sorority Letters!  A great gift for the woman who has it all, make what she has even more hers!
