Twyst's design.
Materials: Brass, PnP Blue, Ferric Chloride, salt water used as patina.
Tools: Laser Printer, Laminating machine, Iron, Small paint brush
I learned the following with this etch. The roller that works with straight laser printer print doesn't work at all with the PnP Blue. 5 trips through the laminating machine then high pressure rub down with the iron gives the best results.
Look for the resist to turn a deep black to indicate that it's been transferred to the brass. A milky blue tells me that the resist hasn't transferred.
Salt water + warm AZ sun gives a very nice natural patina. I bet heating the piece up with out additional patina would turn out really good.
Rachel loves this design. Going to have to make a few more of this pattern for her.
