Putting a Signature Plate on my Stained Glass

Written By Kim Joy

I have been asked if I sign my stained glass. Yes I do. Back in the day I etched my name on the front. Now I create my own signature plates that I solder on the backside.

I use copper sheet and a embossing press. I emboss my name on the copper sheet and cut the copper to fit the back of the work.

How do you sign your work?

The embosser is from The Stationery Studio at www.TheStationeryStudio.com

The copper sheet is from Basic Copper at www.basiccopper.com
