We're absolutely delighted to bestow the Deviousness Award for June 2013 to `ChewedKandi. Congratulations, Sharon! Read More

The Butterfly etching isn't cut by hand in this case. I drew it, translated it as an .eps file, and then use a plotter for the cut. I use transfer tape then to hold it together and lay it onto the glass. If I cut it by hand, I'd be charging more.
I do, however, cut stencils by hand on many pieces I've done (which are most often larger works and not a repetative sale item design). Or, I do a combination.
When I hand cut work, the vinyl (or resist) is laid out on the glass first and the drawing is either directly drawn or transfered or I use tracing paper that I've made the artwork onto and adhered it to the resist for the guidelines for the hand cutting with an X-acto. In what way do you mean it came out wonky?
Either way I do it each piece is still peeled individually and hand sandblasted and often there are slight variations I do so that it always ends up as a unique piece even when the general design is the same.
