Vinyl and Sandblasting!

While cutting out my sheet metal vessel I got a piece of scrap that looked kinda right to be a name tag. I put my name in an illustrator file, and just like magic it was sent to a vinyl cutter (and by magic I mean my professor helped me)! After buffing my piece of scrap, I stuck the vinyl name onto the plate and then blasted the heck out of it with sand. It gave this cool reflective look to the words while leaving the rest non reflective. (the first picture is the vinyl name, the second is the finished product)
