locket project

Here's another maquette for the pierced pattern. I was planning on etching all along after i saw Jan's die forming samples but i didn't know how. So this is what i was planning on doing.

Then jan encouraged me to etch my pieces to give them more dimension and more unique. She taught me how to use the spray etcher. I painted on the resist and scratched it out. I love how it adds more to my locket and i had to use drawing in it. The end result was nice. The only thing i wasn't used to was not being able to file and sand as much as usual.
