I think I know what I want to make now so I have etched a few more items...till I ran out of
etchant.....Went into town and bought two more bottles of the magic potion and now I only have one last piece to etch tomorrow before I start putting it together.I'm so loving the look and feel of the etched metal.As you sand it back the stamped image just pops out at you.So now I have another etched rectangle done...the iron work part of the stamp in the rear came up amazingly
a Collections stamp used on this square
woops...scanned this one a bit lop sided sorry

Hopefully I'll get the item underway tomorrow after we go for a drive(it's dh's day off...have to play wifey *grin*).Then Wednesday I have the day set aside just for me yeha

Wow, these are amazing!
These are so pretty! It is amazing how well the ironwork behind the ladies shows up...beautiful. Are you using a ferric chloride solution to etch?
I just bought some etchant from Radio Shack. I need to look at my "how to" again. What are you using on the edges to avoid sharp metal- are you just filing? Thanks for sharing! Very cool!
Great etchings Annette!! I did a class on etchings with Jen & learnt so much from her, she is an excellent & very patient teacher.
Love how you have used the Angelina & Opals!
