METAL-ETCHING

Me, texturing a piece of copper with a riveting hammer.

Margaret's having too much fun!

The design portion of the class.



Excellent pieces from last night's class.




This is an etched brass cuff that I made for Cindi.


I had a metal etching class last night at Bead Haven.  As always, it was so much fun.  Such a fun, good-natured group of women!  While the copper, brass and nickel pieces take their acid bath, we have an hour to kill, and I always get out all the hammers and we have a mini-metal forming class.  That was fun too, but oh so loud!  My ears are still ringing.  I really do enjoy watching what happens when you give a bunch of women tools.  Thanks to all of the nice ladies in my class last night.
