More Etching Samples

November 5th, 2008 WendyLee Posted in Etching Metal, Techniques, Uncategorized | No Comments »

I had another play with the battery and salt water solution and have these two samples that I am in the process of cleaning up.

After finetuning the technique and working with a new salt water solution, I am happy with the fact the background is smooth, just like etching with the ferric chloride. The lines and detail are alot crisper compared to my first trial.

These pieces will be pendants when I am finished with them, I am think I will set some stones in the centre of them and perhaps dome them as well. Will need to play with them more this weekend.
