Forest Cobbler Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Hi A jewellers that we do engraving work for has given me some really poor artwork and asked for a quote to put the two images onto a sterling silver whisky tumbler. It's beyond my skills to redraw them but I'm wondering if any of you might be able to produce vectors for me, and if so how much you would charge? Obviously they'd need to have the watermark removed. I have searched online for better images and even contacted myfamilysilver.com to see if they would sell us something clearer, but all to no avail. Thanks, Valerie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beware Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Slightly smaller version without watermark. http://www.myfamilysilver.com/img/crests/large/fairbairns-279-11.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beware Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 OK, anyone who wants to have a go, you can get PDFs of Fairbairn's Book of Crests 1905 from here: http://www.electricscotland.com/heraldry/fairbairn.htm Which is the source of your original artwork. I haven't fully looked through them all, but hopefully it's a good copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest Cobbler Posted December 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 Thank you. That's really useful. I've downloaded both volumes and they might take a bit of time to look through as it's being a bit jerky, but the one you've put on here is already producing better results that I had before, so I will persevere. I had come across a smaller version without the watermark, but it was much more blurred than this one. Thanks again, Valerie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 What it will engrave like I don't know but I've quickly done the axe for you from the larger image. It's not great but if it's not going to be that big you may get away with it. Worth a go on a bit of scrap metal anyway. Tis in the download section.

Forest Cobbler Posted December 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 Sorry, can't find it. What did you call it? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 Axe, should be top in the what's new section when you click on downloads. Will be in engravable files too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest Cobbler Posted December 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 Found it, don't know why I couldn't earlier. Unfortunately I can't open or download it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 Download it and import it. It's off in the background really tiny. Ctrl A and centre to workspace. Zoom out and you'll find it. It's a bit messy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
