do you think I could make money at this?

I know how to etch mirrors. and it would be nice to have a little extra income. so I was thinking, Hey maybe I can etch mirrors for people (With a picture of thier choice of course)

here's a sample of one, it's not a great picture and the mirror is a bit dirty (it's been sitting around for like 7 months) but you'll get the basic idea of what I'm talking about.

the picture etched on the mirror is pretty much what I want to get a tattoo of by the way (only slightly different and in color)

would you pay to have a mirror etched with a picture of your choice?

Yea, I would pay those look cool.

**Purple Penguin** · 02-25-2003,01:22 PM

wow that was a fast reply..

okay so let me ask you this... how much would you be willing to pay for one?

That could be a good idea. Specialy for fanboy of thing like Spawn, or anything with a logo.

They look like works of art, and if you find a way to sell them at like an auctions or something, it looks to me that the one you did would prolly sell around 550$ or even more. Im not a are guru but that looks like alot of time and craftswork went into that, you should be able to sell them pretty easily.

I'm a father, and in the penguin world (at least for emperor and king penguins) the father is the one that raises the yung, they'll sit on thier egg from the moment it's layed untill it hatches (i think it take somewhere around 1.5 to 2 months for it to hatch) the weather can get to be 50 degrees below zero or more and they'll still stick it out just to keep that egge warm (if they leave it it could die within a matter of moments) they don't even eat the entire time they stay with the egg. when it hatches the mother comes back for a short while (like a day or so) so the father can go and eat, as you can imagine they'd be pretty hungry by then. after the baby hatches the father is still the primary caregiver for the little penguin, keeping it warm. again if the baby is to be out in the cold it could die within moments.

I find all this very admirable

I'm asuming thats a typo and you mean $5.50 right?

no one in thier right mind would pay $550 for a little 12X12 mirror
