now, I can share

May 13, 2009 | Category: is it polymer or polymerde?, off the top of my head

A few weeks ago, I posted a teaser photo of some etched pieces I’d made, but couldn’t share the whole thing, because it was for a swap.

I think most of the 2009 Mask Swappers have gotten their packages by now, so I’m going ahead & posting the full images.

Here’s a Zentangle®*-inspired doodle I used to make a tearaway transfer etching:

And the etched & highlighted clay piece.

These were a lot of fun to do.

There were also pieces done with translucent clay and purple oil paint, but the etch wasn’t as deep, so they’re hard to see. Lesson learned – Staples Copy Center copiers aren’t the best for tearaway etching.
