Doodle Etching

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 :)

Here is the copper I doodled on

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
