General Procedure:
  * Make design in VinylMaster Cut
    * You may want to cut a "perimeter" of lines around the sticker, but scissors will work too...
  * Cut design on vinyl cutter
    * Alt-P in VinylMaster Cut
  * attach sticker to glass, perform weeding as necessary (removing bits of sticker where etching will occur)
    * The hobby knives are the most dangerous tool in the shop, so be careful!
  * (optional: add some masking tape above/below sticker to prevent unwanted etching)
  * At the Sandblaster:
    * Practice blasts on one of
      - A sacrificial glass piece
      - A piece of rusty metal?
      - A random piece of acrylic or something? (this may be the best as you can cut out a piece of the mask?)
    * Blast the glass! Should only take a few seconds of blasting to etch the glass.
