Etching

[Sunnybank]

I've finally got sick of working in the kitchen where I have to set everything up and then put everything away so etching is on hold until I've converted the porch into a workshop. I've got a car full of rubbish for the tip then the work starts on the bench.

Nail varnish sounds good, might be my first try.

Now I've got a workshop I couldn't put the etching off any longer, nail varnish at the ready I had a go! Really pleased with the result, sorry I've lost the ability to photograph jewellery so you will have to take my word for it, I know ................


I'm now buzzing with ideas for what to do next.

Still not David Bailey, but here are a couple of pics of my attempt at etching ............ my brother's Christmas present!


I just stippled the nail varnish on the face to give a random 'natural' look.

I had some real problems soldering the cufflink backs on, the first time I've used them, might think about link next time.

Thanks for all the advice and interest following my question.

Jane, actually I think I prefer Sunny!
