i am sure i am not alone when i tell you that just when i need to get down to putting some things together that function as adornment (as opposed to the fun i have when i build the focals, etc...)
i get pulled in another direction...
but i was also on the phone (which i usually am not) - so i didn't want to make noise (because hammering isn't really polite - though i admit a slipped a couple of times)... and i saw this copper tubing hanging on my board... and etching is quiet...
so what if?

and thank you barbara, for reminding me of where the tired brain had gotten the inspiration from... your book and a takrut i recently used in a necklace i made...
That's a lovely pattern! I'm looking forward to seeing what your experiment turns in to!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if tubing could be etched successfully. Obviously it can!! With stunning results! I have a lot of tubing...
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, simple, and quiet...I love those stray tangential what ifs.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, Mary Jane. There are a couple examples of etched tubing in my book ... it comes out so beautifully. This would look great with some patina!
ReplyDeleteOh, that's lovely.
ReplyDeleteThis is sensational!!!
ReplyDeleteMD-Wow!! That is special - and you did that whilst talking on the phone!!! B
