Etching copper sheet is fun and I love the process its as simple as doodling on copper with a black sharpie, stick it into some salt water, add some electric and in a half an hour you have a piece of art. Once you have a sheet of etched copper it can be turned into anything, I have made bead caps out of most of the copper that I have etched, the texture is just beautiful next to the smooth glass. My photos do this process justice but here they are anyway :)

This is the copper after it was salt etched |

And this last photo is of the copper after I used liver of sulfur on it |

These are some beads with copper etched bead caps |
The etched copper sheet is absolutely wonderful and the bead caps look great on your beads.
