Etched Copper Cog Flask
Crane Badge In The Wild
Awhile ago I made a copper, etched paper crane badge, and the owner sent me some pics of it in the wild!
Gold Finch
A present for a co-worker, a gold finch. Brass, with etched and patina’d copper. It will eventually have a string and a suction cup to hang from a window.
Skull And Beer Flask
Did this for a friend as a gift, etched copper on stainless steel flask. I really like the way the skull came out.
Etched Copper Cog Heart Flask
Another custom flask, this time using the same etched copper technique I used for the whale flask.
First I etched the copper, then cut out the design, then used liver of sulfur to give it that patina, then onto the flask.
I am liking the etching process more with mordant even though its much more toxic than salt water etching, the results are more consistent. I worry however of what I am going to do with this stuff when I am done using it…you can’t just pour it down the drain it will eat the pipes…and I certainly don’t want to pour it outside its nasty toxic…guess I will have to take it to the dump and see if they have any special disposal places.
Etched Copper Right Whale Flask
I got my hands on some copper mordant and decided to play around with some etched copper, this was another gift for a friend. Decided at the last minute to grind a water line into the flask to make it look like the whale was coming up for air. I am not totally sure I like it, but the gift getter liked it, so thats what counts.
