Wind Chimes #4

Latest Wind Chimes... same basic design, but I etched the design in the sails and added two sails.


Close up of the last sail.


The copper blackening agent didn't work out as well as I expected; need to etch more deeply so I can use fine steel wool to remove it from the places I don't want it.

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.
