after i felt happy with the drawing i then chopped i down into six sections so could etch it in ferric chloride, the sections just fitted in gently folded in half- some areas have etched almost all the way through and look really nice with light shining through, i was after a kind of lace effect which i’ve almost got when the light is there, although i don’t know how long the piece would last if it wasn’t held together by tape at the back.
Some really nice marks and textures have happened where the copper has etched for a long time i am looking forward to seeing it as a sculpture i think it is going to turn out well..
