What Kind of Patterns Are You Looking For?

Posted on by Posted in Blog Content 141 Comments

If you’re like me, you can never get enough patterns to use.  I like to have a large assortment of block patterns and line patterns, which are more commonly used for sandcarving.  I hope everyone used the patterns I sent out to you in the newsletter.  I know some are decent and others aren’t the best.  So, now I want to know what kind of patterns everyone is looking for.

You can see the picture below to get an idea of what the difference is between a line pattern and a block pattern.  If you’re totally new to using line patterns for sandcarving, I will have a quick tutorial for you as well.  Basically, the top pattern “flower 1” would be considered a line pattern and the bottom “heron” might be considered a block pattern.

Please give me some feedback in the comments section below.  This allows me to gather a collection of ideas which would be listed in one area.  Also, my newsletter subscribers vary.  I know some of you work with etching cream and others work with glass sandblasting methods (https://www.glassetchingsecrets.com/glasssandblasting.html).  If you wouldn’t mind, please tell me what might interest you so I can bring everyone more patterns based on different themes.

Also, I have provided a collection of a lot of other sources for more free in the information manual.

  1. Hi Eric, Thanks so much for the patterns!! They are great. I wish now, I would have kept my sandblaster, you had some wonderful sandblast patterns! I really liked the flower patterns too. I have been doing some engraving and if you are looking for some new ideas, I LOVE glass etching buildings, like old barns, cottages, fences,trees. just some neat old buildings are my favorites. I’d also like to see more patterns off dog breeds, I also like the wildlife etchings,deer, buffalo, etc.Keep up the great work you are doing and I enjoy the newsletter you put out with the patterns. Thanks again.

  3. Eric,
    We use mostly the block type of patterns for our work. We are sandblasting these patterns on thicker bevels to use in our stained glass work. We get better results using the block type then the lined type…
    I would like you to know that we really apprecate the time and effort you put into you pattern selections…I can always count on you to have what we need…
    Thanks again

  4. I downloaded some in the past, I use them in sandblasting, Thank-you very much.
    Varity is what I look for and you do that.
    Thanks again.

  5. I etch, engrave, and carve anything I get my hands on and have alot of fun doing it. Thanks for the designs. I will most likely be using them all.

  6. I would like to see some building patterns to put on mirrors, etc. I love you patterns, thank you so much for sharing.

  8. Hello Erick,
    Thank you so much for your free contribution, I and I am sure all are very thankful towards you for this. I am doing cream etch work, the patterns you had made available are just fine, maybe if possible I would like some fairy patterns, but again, any pattern will be welcome. Hope to see more patterns in future.

  10. My granddaughter is getting married and she is wanting me to etch some wine glasses with a lilly and the bride and grooms name on them. I cannot find a pattern. I am just a beginner and not real talented so it needs to be simple.
    I have only used etching cream.

  11. Thank you all for your comments and feedback. Keep the ideas coming and Ill try and round up some good patterns.

  16. Thanks Anjum, I will keep that on my list. It seems floral patterns are desired. Thanks for adding that.

  17. By moderation, I mean that I see everyones comments here. I try to collect everyone’s thoughts and visit this area often.

  18. Can,t say thanks enough you have some great Ideas I have been doing some glasses for my daughter wedding , it does take some practice but we are getting there, the vinyl cutter is great with alot of possibltily once I get that figure out will save alot of time
    thanks again john

  19. I just wanted to say thanks for this wonderful site. I have a small airbrush sized sandblaster to do some small jobs, but everywhere I looked it was either them using chemicals, or giant sandblasting rooms, or dremel tools. It was nice to find your site set up for people like me to be able to do the work my way, enjoy it and in the same token maybe make a few extra bucks. As someone else said on here though a few wildlife stencils would be nice. As I do taxidermy work and I could use those to add the the projects back boards or habitats and make a little extra from my clients. Thanks for this great site.

    Mike

  20. hi just like to say that i am a novice, but looking at your site i have just started etching, its fab
    thanks

  21. Thank you for the patterns, they look great. I etch on glass and mirrors, and carve patterns into wood with a dremel tool.

  23. Great thanks, my husband is a memorial mason working with granite, glass is a new product to us and with these templates it can start us in the right direction, i look forward to seeing and recieving many more.
    Thanks Clare

  24. Great site thanks for the free patterns. I hope to get into glass engraving i think it would be a great hobby

  26. Thanks for the patterns ..I have done some etching ,mainly glasses ..now i would like to try windows ,mirrors etc…hoping i can learn to do this…lol..any ideas would be greatly appreciated..

  27. Thanks for the free patterns. I am just learning to do glass etching, taking a class now. Do you have wolves or other canines?

  28. Thanks Mary. I hope you learn something from me as well. Be sure to ask me any questions. I do have some wolf patterns but there copyright protected so I can’t give them away.

  29. Great patterns. I engrave as well as cream etch and sandetch. Fantastic patterns that cover all disiplines. Keep up the great work. Much appreciated.
    Thank you very much.

    Ed

  31. Mary, if you have Word or OpenOffice, you can use a nice looking font and type your words. Then select the size and print it out to follow when cutting your stencil.

    This is kinda cool too. You can also search for some free fonts online to download and use those. I do this every once in awhile. Its a unique way of doing this because there are a lot of cool fonts out there. I might write up a tutorial about this soon.

  33. Eric,
    Thanks so much for the patterns. I’m looking for something specific for my Model A Wing windows that are approx.15″H x 9″W. I want to cream etch a group or bouquet of Colorado Columbines on them. Would you know where to find a pattern or stencil? Once again, thanks for the help, I really appreciate it.

  34. Hi Eric, you have made my day! I am busy replacing all the windows in our home starting with a bathroom and since I do not like the everyday frosted glass, I decided to do engraving to give our home a unique look. I am very interested in Moroccan line designs. I have a Dremel engraving tool and use diamond and silicone carbide bits. The design I have downloaded today (blosom) is almost what I am looking for, but I will find use for it – maybe the glass doors on the bookshelves.
    THANK YOU!

  35. Ansie, I am glad I could help! Feel free to share your finished project with us. I have been placing other peoples work lately on this blog for everyone to see, along with credit to get recognized.

    Thanks

  36. I did 2 brides,he may appreciate a fish as he is an angler.
    Thanks a lot for your help.

  37. No problem Margaret. Feel free to keep in touch and share some of your projects with me! I enjoy seeing other peoples creativity. I have actually been featuring peoples work here lately and I am impressed with there art.

  38. Dear Eric,Thank you for your patterns,I have some hand held tools which I use for etching on champagne flutes,and I have got a small dremel,which I havent yet used.
    I wonder if you had any advice on how to do etch portraits onto glass.Iam getting a bit over ambitious,maybe.
    Have you any patterns of brides and grooms.
    Thanks a lot for your help.
    Margaret

  39. If your etching portraits, it depends on what type of etching your doing and engraving will be a little different. Either way, you can use software like Adobe Photoshop to convert it into a black and white pattern. One of the programs I talk about in the ebook has a feature which usually works good for engraving type work.

    But you can also create halftones for photoresist stencils. This is typically done with sandblast etching. I have worked with both of these and are interesting.

    I don’t currently have any wedding patterns that I can give away at least, but try searching Google for some. You can usually find some.

  40. looking for designs for glass etching with etching cream. Mainly looking for designs to make for family and friends ie. pirate related designs girly skull and crossbones; heart peace sign skull and crossbones; block letters or some to use for monograms. your designs are wonderful and you are so kind to share.

  42. Hi Eric
    we are doing stained glass to learn to restore church windows.our church is small and can’t aford what it costs to have someone come in to do it,so we formed a group to see the job through.Some windowes are beyond repair,bullets and glas don’t mix well,so i bought a sand blaster,I plan to etch smaller panels to fill in the voids or creat full panels.We need some patterns for church windows,your help would be great,You and your info has been a god send.
    Thank you so much,Terry

  43. Hi Terry, what kind of patterns do you want to use? I have very few church related patterns but I think you best bet would to do a google image search with different like minded-keywords.

    If you need any help searching for some, send me an email with your ideas and I’ll try to help. Thanks

  44. I saw some luminaries made from wine bottles over the weekend and am investigating what stencils are available to take these bottles to the next level (the ones I saw were just plain with lights inside). We live on the Oregon coast and are interested in sealife and nautical themes. We already work with fused glass and I thought luminaries might sell well. Jim

  45. Eric,
    Thanks for the patterns that we can download when we sign up. My question is, are the patterns available in a vectorized format vs the jpg and png?
    Would my assumtion be correct that with the file formats you supply for patterns , that most people print them and then cut the out manually?

    Awesome site,
    Thanks

  46. Hi Rick, thats a good question. I think I was originally going to provide both vector and raster formats but I didn’t see people wanting them as much.

    It depends on what stencil process people are using. You can use a vinyl cutter, photoresist, or manual cut. For most photoresist applications the image size should be big enough so I don’t think you need a resizable vector (unless your making a huge photoresist which isn’t economical).

    Standby and I might try to put up the vectors.

  47. hi im just starting out and i would like to know more about doing the etching? i have been doing small stuff on my own and im liking it it also gives me something to do. so if you have more pattrens and a how-to download that could make me better a it i would like to see what i can do ===thank you DENNIS

  48. Hi Eric, thank you for the free patterns I really enjoy them. I’m going to re-size the pattern so I can inlay the pattern into my gemstone jewelry making & woodworking as well as my airbrushing, sand blasting, glass fusing & tin punching. The hardest part is the in laying into the gemstone itself. It could take a whole week just to carve out the material for the in lay.The carving out of the gemstone material which take a lot of time & water. One have to be very careful in carving. One slip-up on the carving out the material of the gemstone could mean that piece, could be loss so of speaking. I tumble my own gemstone & use P.M.C. It take a lot of time, but it is worth it. Sure I could make the inlay cut with my sand blasting airbrush,but carving the material out with a small 300,000 rpm drill leave a much smoother edge. For the type of pattern that I would like to see more. Patterns of wolves, cats & dogs, & horse. I like animals a lot. Thank you… Michael

  49. Eric; I thank you for the free patterns. They are awesome! I am primarily a wood carver and I make wooden fishing lures and figurines normally. I am new to “Glass” work and I have tried the creams (nice but I’m not too impressed) and the high speed engravers (Proxxon high speed etcher only 20,000rpms though) and I just recently purchased an inexpensive sand blasting kit. I am very curious to try it and right now I am a bit intimidated by it. I look forward to getting into your blog. I have been carving wood since I was 8 yrs old and I am now in my 60’s and it’s time to try something new.

  50. I am new to the world of etching. I got started because I wanted to make Christmas ornaments which you have some designs that I really like but I was hoping to find a little house or front door to make a Our Firt Home ornamnet for my son & his wife. I’m always not very good at centering or lining stuff up…it would be so awesome if you could make a designs with phrases on the same stencil. I look forward to other projects!

  51. My husband is looking for a wolf stencil. This is a new hobby for him and we enjoy your site and the information that you provide. Thanks

  52. Just going to start to use etching cream. Could use smaller patterns. Thank you for the free patterns though

  53. hi i would like to see like eagles and have some fancy fonts and letters.Butterflies, and paint brushes and paint spats and also slats.Dragons Houses.

  55. I’ve worked with etching cream and done some sandblasting, so I have a little experience; I’ve just acquired a Dremel tool, and am hoping to give that a try over the next few weeks. I don’t really like the toxicity of the etching cream, and the sandblasting requires a fairly elaborate setup (or a trip to a friend’s facility), but I’m hoping the hand tool will allow me to do some work at home without worrying about the effects of hydrofluoric acid on my plumbing.

    The patterns are excellent, and I’ll definitely be making use of them as I get some more experience.

  57. Thank you for the free patterns, I’m very new to this and do my etching with a dremel, I do designs to 12×12 mirrors and wood and even stone. Would appreciate any type of patterns you care to share with us. Thanks again.
    Bob

  58. Hi Eric, Thanks for the patterns. I sand carve stone and glass. I’m always looking for good vector art especially mermaids and dog breed specific.

  60. Hi Eric
    It’s me again. I have done the line and the block and both are beautiful, I think the block stand out more on the mirrors. I am greatfull for any that you send and greatfull for those you have sent. I have found a couple of books on etching but they seem to be few and far between. When I figure out how to hoon camera to computer I will show a few that I have done.
    Bob

  61. Bob, thats great. If you use the line patterns for multi-stage etching then they look better than anything.

    I agree that there isn’t many books of this art which is why I started this site. I’ll be putting out much more info soon. It would be great to see your work too!

  62. I’m interested in finding a pattern to etch a lighthouse on a mirror.
    These other patterns are great.. thanks

  63. Thanks Eric for showing myn work on the blog.The response was great I like to get fancy letters of the alphabet I make a lot of coasters people like them a good gift for any ocasion. WILLIAM.

  64. No problem William and I thank you as well for contributing. Its always great to see everyone’s work and it helps inspire us all.

    Awhile back I thought I would change the focus of this blog so that people can share their work on top of my postings. Thanks!

  65. I like the southwestern look. I am really a country girl and I like the west. You have gareat talent. I hope to be a smidgen as good some day.

  66. I just want to say thanks for the patterns. i’m looking forward to many more. I’ve just started doing sand carving trying to set up in my garage but with me out of town allot it is a slow process. Really looking forward in your information you give out in helping others and the patterns you supply gives me a better idea as to what can be done. Thanks again

  67. Hi I asked your opinion about what you would preffer a cabonet or a booth you said you would like a booth space permiting,well I’v built myself an 8 by 10 booth with a fresh air supply mask and a presure pot sand blaster,thanks I love the booth.What I’m trying to figure out now is what to use as a backing to rest the glass on.I am thinking of using a dense foam covered in canvase this should absorbe the vibration in the glass,what do you think?Aswell I’m looking for line drawings of mythacle warriors and beasts to concoure.I realy am greatfull for all your work to share the skill youve developed.Next on my list is photo screen.I hear that takes a lot of practice.Well with a steady knife and a bag of sand off we go.Many thanks Terry Jo

  68. Terry Jo- thats awesome. I hope I get around to making a booth someday too. If you ever wanted to show off a photo of your booth, let me know. I’d be happy to post it on the blog. Thanks for commenting!

  69. once I get a digital camera I’ll send a photo.Whats your thoughts on something to dampen the vibration in the glass as I sandblast it,or do I need to worry about it? Thank Terry Jo

  70. hi eric, i’m not actualy using your designs for glass etching, i’m going to use them for metal etching. i would love some abstract swirls and stuff like that. the line drawings are great but a little thicker sine would be good or even negative prints would be good.

  71. Terry Jo, you can really use a lot of different materials to dampen the glass. An old towel or a rubber damper on each corner would probably work.

  72. Hi Eric, I never really knew you could etch on glass with cream. I am used to the sandblasting machines. This is wonderful. Looking into it. Nice pattern too.

  74. I have been cream etching for a couple of years. I tried sandblasting with a dremel tool, but wasn’t thrilled with the outcome. Your patterns have given me so new ideas. Would love some patterns of horses for my older daughter. Thanks.

  75. Hi Eric,

    I’ve been away for a while (health stuff), but we are back. Thanks for the patterns today. Haven’t had time to study them yet. Had the pleasure of meeting and learning from Ken Brown in McKinney, TX in

    Hi Eric: Glad to be back and do appreciate patterns. Had the pleasure to meeet and study with Ken Brown in Texas last April and am trying to get to speed with the dental drill engraving. Best wishes to all starting out. Keep working and don’t give up.
    Tom

  76. I don’t sand blast but I do glass etching(w/liquid etching material).The available patterns in most craft stores are very small and pricey.I am thrilled to finally find your site,and all the free patterns and info you have made available.Thank You so much,I look forward to etching once again for friends/family!!God Love You

  77. Thanks very much haven’t even gotten my equipment yet so I need patterns bad I used to use kids coloring books when I had my laser. I do a lot of things with the military so any military would be great thanks again

  78. Hi Eric,
    Many thanks for taking the time to help me with patterns. I’m brand new to etching and you help is greatly appreciated!
    Carol

  80. im etching glass, once i saw a pattern with a old man and young girl and she was dressed in a old fashioned dress,it was late 18th century card and it was lovely,
    i like what you call line patterns,keep them coming thanx,

  82. Kathy, have you tried right clicking and saving them to your computer? I am not sure why you can’t open them. What format are you looking for?

  83. Eric these days any free patterns is greatly appreciate, any wild life or Western will do. Thanks for everything.

  84. Thanks so much for offering these patterns.I’m starting a new hobby and these will save me a lot of time and effort getting started.I’m looking forward to your news letter and future patterns. Thanks again.

  85. Thank you so much for the quick respons.

  87. I am looking for a pattern(s) of English Setters. These will be prizes for an English Setter specialty show.

  88. Thank you Eric for the free patterns. I will use these over and over. Do you do any free patterns that consist of multi stage carving and/or shading? Looking forward to seeing many more of your fine patterns.

  89. @ Brad,

    Thanks for the response! The flower and fish patterns are actually for multi carving. All you would do is make one cut on the line.

  90. Hi, i have just subscribed to this newsletter. i have only recently gotten interested in glass etching as a hobby, so to begin with my husband got me a hand held etching tool for christmas so i’m really looking forward to getting started on some simple designs to begin with before i progress, so any hints as to what i should try first will be greatly appreciated, many thanks
    Susan (Ire)

  91. Thank you Eric for the new patterns you sent out. My interest is in finding patterns that consist of a theme. For example, fish with vegetation around them, mountain scenes, etc…. I really enjoy your posts and patterns.

  92. i am just trying to get started in carving but cant find a good system that i can afford ..useing a dremel now .. works ok i guess but not good enough.. can some one help with maby a used one or something i can use…

  93. Thank you Eric for the pattern you send me. I need some more pattern to place on door pane, mirror and furniture glass pane.

  94. Thanks Eric for such a quick response. I’m presently using a laser to etch on glass. I’m excited to see how I can translate some of your patterns for the laser. I’m always looking for new ideas and all the patterns are much appreciated.

  95. I am actually looking for simple ideas to put on gifts like glass canister jars. Some holiday focused items like Valentine’s Day, Independence Day, Grandparent’s Day etc.

  96. absolutely love all the patterns!!! thank you so much!!! small, fancy numbers would be good (to be usedon toasting champagne goblets for dates).

  104. Thank you so much for your patterns. I have only attempted glass etching once before and really enjoyed it. I have joined another crfat group who have NEVER done glass etching so I am collecting all the info. I can, will do some practice them attempt so show the group how it is done. I showed them what I had done before and they thought it would be fun to do (they are right of course) There is a wide range of people in the group with different tastes so I need a variety of patterns. For me I would love old country – like barns and cottages etc. My Grandaughter is visiting in the school holidays and she likes horses so some patterns of horses would be great and she and I can have fun together. Thank you so much for this site

  105. Great patterns so far. I use them for sandblasting and carving. Thanks for your great contribution to all the hobbyists and busines folk who follow you here. Great job. Alf, Qld Australia

  106. Hello, and thank you so much for sharing the knowledge, the patterns… and the inspiration! Glass etching is something that I’ve wanted to try for a very long time, but for one reason or another, it seems that actually ‘doing’ it was a different story. I am now officially starting my first glass etching: an angel, on a beveled glass ornament for my ‘angel’, my grandmother, that just turned 90 years young!
    Thanks again! You’ve put a big smile on my face!!
    Amy

  108. Thank you for the designs. I am just starting to do etching on glass for a flea market. Don’t know exactly what I would like to see, just would like more ideas.

  109. Good evening Eric

    I am a starter in sandblasting.
    So I am trying everything out, line patterns and blok patterns,
    .
    I would like tto sandblast winebottles, do you have examples for this kind of work.
    For example paterns like wine labels?

    I thank you in advance.

  112. Hi Eric I am just starting out at glass etching I have a few jobs coming up and I want to put together a display and I am wanting to do some with gold paint in the etching, what product would you recomend as I have been looking and I am finding it difficulte to get what I am looking for.

    George

  114. Hi Eric, brand spanking new at this glass etching project. Why? Well,I am a pickle lover and have collected a bunch of large jars and and have kept them because I knew I would think of something great to do with them. I was going to try to paint my daughters each a canister set then thought why not try something new…tada etching…the cream sounded like a good starting place and I was thinking just a fancy monogram style to get started. Then in my web search to “get the facts” I found your site, oh lord …I have so many ideas now my husband is going to shudder. Thank you for the great patterns I look forward to trying to make the stencils!

  116. hi Eric
    Just joined tonight, I think it’s great that your doing this, i have checked out many sites, and the glass etching stencils are so expensive, .i am retired and trying to earn an extra income on some of my woodworking, It’s hard to spend allot of money on something your not sure would sell . I have built a round mirror, with inlaid wood, and quotes that i have scroll sawed into the inlay i was wanting to add an etching in the center of the mirror but like i said they are so very expensive, thanks a thousand times over,
    Vince

  117. HI THNX FOR THE FREE PATTERNS I AM A BEGINNER IN GLASS ENGRAVING,ETCHING AND PAINTING WOULD LOVE TO C MORE FLOWERS,SWANS AND HEARTS, THNX AGAIN

  118. Hi Eric,
    Imagine my surprise when I found you’re site. I am just starting so need lots of practice with glass etching. My daughter has asked me to do some patterns or sayings of a wedding theme on 264 wine glasses. Do you have any such patterns or any advice for me? Thank you.

  119. Great question Penni-Jo. I always search google for wedding type image in black and white. You will be surprised at what you find. Great stuff there.

  120. Hi Eric,
    Just starting out and was thrilled to find your site/patterns. I would love patterns for an owl to put on wine glasses. Thanks!

  126. I love to do etching or engraving whatever you want to call it by hand and thanks for the patterns I am always looking for patterns. I love to use my etching pen and just find a pattern and go to work on it. So thanks so much

  128. Hi Eric
    Thanks so much for the patterns. I laser etch on glass and some of these will be most useful. I have a client who wants an american Buffalo and cannot find one anywhere. Any Ideas??

  129. I do detailed engraving, I usually use photographs for my patterns. I add a lot of detail , but I have been thinking about adding etching to add more depth, some shadowed patterns would be nice.

  130. Eric, Thanks so much for your patterns, quite lovely! I will be engraving with a rotary tool, I am also a complete beginner. Can hardly wait to try.

  131. thanks, Eric…great drawings and I truly appreciate you sharing. I’m just looking for equipment I can afford. I would love some etching about memories, especially about loved ones gone, especially children. I want to do memory or tribute etchings. Thanks again for your generosity.

  132. We have been doing a little bit of glass etching and are looking at maybe expanding to see if we can make it a full time business to see us into retirement and beyond. Thanks so much for the patterns and I would love to see some of Dog Breeds as well eg Great Danes as we have 2 beautiful girls. Other Aussie animals would be great also. Once again Thanks so much for all your help we really do appreciate it cause without the likes of you we all would have to muddle on by ourselves .

  133. Hi Eric. I just signed up for your newsletter. I have just placed my order through SCM down the Power Carver kit. My plans are for glass and wood etching/carving. I have a love for animals but would really like to get my hands on some horse block patterns. I am just starting out with this hobby and hope someday to be able to sell my new craft at local horse shows. I have a horse myself so it’s a natural appreciation for their majestic beauty. I also have 2 cats. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge. Debbie Geng

  134. I am just wanting to do some very simple stuff,like maybe names,small flowers, small animals ..just got my cream today (Tues. )…I am kinda scared about starting ,you know how new projects are.Pinterest keeps me occupied and in trouble all the time..:-).. But love it and hoping I can do this etching without many mistakes…thanks

  135. Hi Rick, I am new at glass etching so I did like simple and varied patterns to start off with……

    Thank you,
    Sara

  136. Thank you for the free etching help. I am a very beginner trying to teach myself to etch. I am an old lady on a pension but I am eager to learn. Thank You again

  138. Hi Eric, I would like to thank you for your website and for the wealth of knowledge that you are sharing with us.
    I have been sandblasting glass professionally for over 16 years on a industrial scale here in the UK but now I only do it as a hobby in my garage. Please long may you continue with your excellent site.

  140. Hi Eric,

    I am researching sandblasting as I am interested in getting into it. Still trying to determine what is the system to purchase. However, I intend to pay special attention to the sandblasting cabinet as I feel it’s possibly the most critical component. I will be happy for your thoughts on all the components I need to purchase.

  141. Hi Eric I am new to etching. But I am super excited to start etching glass. I think this is awesome that you are helping and explaining the process. Thank you so much
