This one etched down better

This morning I took another shot at Michelle Key Tag. I like this one.

jim: what do you mean by the term "etch" ? did you simply do a.freehand trace from a photo or drawing of the lady ?

 

[Arnaud Van Tilburgh]

Me too Jim, I would like to know about the technique you use for this. It doesn't look "etch" as far as I understand that technique. Seems more like you use a sort of small bur. Is it done using a pantograph?

Arnaud I use an acid risist on the tag, trace what I want and etch it with nitric acid.
