Inuit Etching Cuff

[brad]

Jumping to show and tell from my etching issues we discussed under “Metalsmithing.”
This is a patina’d copper cuff, with Alaskan/Eskimo/Inuit characters. Using a toner cartridge from 2014 I was able to restore my old etching “mojo.” After heating on the transfer image. I got a good deep etching without much resist failure. Then I patina’d with liver of sulfur. After which, I used fine steel wool to faintly reveal the copper. (Pics don’t really show that.) brad

Oooh, very nice! I'm glad you solved your problem if we get to see more like this in future!

Wonderful! This is a cuff that could be worn by any gender. As always, your attention to detail is part of what makes your work so special.

I'm so glad you are back in the etching business again! Hope you have a good stock of toner cartridges at the ready.
