    Default First time etching

    Had a go after psyching myself up. It wasn’t that bad after all!
    I used ferric chloride but made the mistake of not laying them upside down except one (the tree) which is my favourite. I used rubber stamps with a stayzon? Ink pad and minimally touched up with permanent marker after. I love the tree and thats what i want look wise next time. Trial and error... the diamond shape pendant was my first go at soldering a brass strip and silver balls!...

    Forgot to mention, liver of sulphured after but the tree did best as it was etched more. Pics arent showing the shiny silver bits. Wanted to capture the etching more x
