I find making letters takes patience and determination. you need to design the letters thick enough to be able to cut,grind and foil. Example if you make an E - it would be best to do in 4 sections.
The other way to put a name is by etching the name in the glass. I would check for etching on the web- to find out the tools and techniques.
I understand this is a beautiful option.
Just a couple ideas to move forward with your design.
