 Distressed Bird of Paradise
By Christine Cox
8/05


This 3" X 4" piece of Nickel Silver is bound to become a book cover. After painting I patinated the metal in our Patinating Solution


Detail
You can really see how deeply etched the metal is in this image.

Learn more about etching metal in our booklet "Etching Metal: How-To and Idea Book"

This photo is 800 X 600 and is just the right size for the desktop wallpaper on most computers. It's really colorful and free! Email Christine if you need help. I use a PC so you Mac people are on  your own.
