Copper Project #2 - B and C

B. Celtic knot... with patina added.... B&W...

C. Celtic knot with patina added...in color, which causes the flash to go off.

Copper Project #2

This is still a work-in-progress. I've ordered "Patina in a bottle", which should highlight the design. It's etched copper.... it was easier to show the detail in black and white than to deal with the relections in a color photo.
It's a Celtic Cross design...

Copper Etching #1

A little copper, some ferric chloride, some ammonia, a few paint pens.....

More work needed: have to drill a hole in the center at the top, add some cord for hanging, and coat with polyurathane......
The uneven texture around the edge is part of the design - I didn't want it to be too smooth.

Pirate Kindle

Not a "Pirated Kindle", but a home made skin, using some materials lying around and my NEW pirates hockey tape !

Stuff I Made for Christmas: Copper Wind Chimes

The clappers from all of them are slices of hardwood branches that have dried.
