I have been working on a couple things in my Enameling on Metal class, but nothing quite ready to show yet. Here is another piece I etched this past week. Unfortunately the muriatic acid and hydrogen peroxide solution I used last time did not work so well this time so I ended up using ferric chloride in class to try to etch a little deeper. It’s not as deep as I would normally like it and I need to clean it up a bit before I enamel it, but I had limited time and decided this would do for now. I am hoping to have some enameled pieces up within the next couple weeks.

In other news, my friend Elisabeth got married this past weekend at The Homestead in Hot Springs, VA. Photos are here.
