I etched some thin copper and some nickel silver using stamps, a perm ink and an enchant solution. Then I dipped them in liver of sulphate(smells like rotten eggs) to oxidize them.I have cut the bits in certain shapes to make some things with so I shall post what I make as I get each part made. This first piece is the copper and is shinier then what it scans.
the next two are nickel silver squares...one of which will be the backing on another Angelina Film and Opals necklace for a friend.
and a nickel silver rectangle
I'm thinking of alcohol inking the square ones. There are a few more pieces I have to etch yet and then I shall get started on making what I want to make. ....if they turn out LOL

Annette, these are gorgeous! I especially like the last one with the children on it. Curious to see what you make with them.
Hi Annette
They look great. Isn't it fun?
You can even use acrylic paint on them and sand back gently to show the embossed pattern. Loking forward to seeing the final product.
These look wonderful Annette.
