About the book >.>.> Etching is one of the most amazing and magical techniques you can have in your artistic arsenal. And while some believe etching Is intimidating the truth of the matter is that when it is executed in the correct manner it is a safe and efficient process. As long as you adhere to all safety guidelines you are using a relatively straightforward and timeworn alchemist’s formula There are an array of etching processes to choose from. For this book we have chosen to focus on the two most frequently used chemical processes. The wonderful thing about etching is the personal signature that is easily added to each piece created. Deep textures as well as layers of patterns and images create a virtual landscape of depth. Etching is the perfect compliment to a variety of jewelry and mixed-media art techniques. For instance the addition of etched metal and a bit of solder can transform a metal cuff into a masterpiece. One of the most exciting facets of etching is the versatility it affords. While simple chain is a fine option etched sheet metal is a statement; all that one needs is a pair of sheers and forming pliers to compose a chain created of beautiful etched links. As you make your way through this etching journey it is our hope that the projects both encourage you to try the mulhtude of techniques and inspire you to create your very own projects. (LL)
