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.
