German painter Peter Wever received his training at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin, Ireland, followed by travels in the United States and Guatemala. Wever is known for his color etchings often dealing with relationships. His work has warmth, and often a touch of humour. Wever's dynamic art is an interesting mix of printmaking and paint.

Hi gang, Nadine here with another copper etching tutorial, this time using a solution called Edinburgh Etch, an alternative method to the salt-water electro etching which I shared last time. This method is also safe and effective and again costs under £10 in materials. Ferric chloride is a salt crystal which which has been used since the turn of the century as it gives and accurate and controlable bite. It has benefits over other 'nasty' etching chemicals such as nitric acid as it is odourless, does not produce toxic fumes and, though corrosive, is not absorbed through the skin. Whilst you can etch with plain ferric chloride, Friedhard Kiekeben, artist and researcher at the Edinburgh Printmakers Workshop has invented a better version called Edinburgh Etch. After lots of experimentation, he found that by simply adding citric acid, the acid naturally occuring in lemon juice, the etched sediment is dissolved as soon as it is produced, preventing clogging. This simple addition makes the etch faster, cleaner and last longer. What you need: Ferric chloride Citric acid powder Water Plastic or glass beaker Copper piece to be etched Silhouette Cameo or Curio Vinyl This tutorial will make up 500ml of Edinburgh Etch solution, simply scale up or down depending on your needs. Whilst this solution is safe to use, it is still a corrosive and can stain skin and clothes, so be careful, protect your work surfaces and wear rubber gloves. Edinburgh Etch Recipe 1/5 Citric Acid Solution: 3 parts water to 1 part powder 4/5 Ferric Chloride 40% strength - available premixed or in crystal form Step One: Make Citric Acid Solution Dissolve the citric acid powder in a ratio of 3 parts water to 1 part citric acid. We're making 500ml of Edinburgh Etch, so dissolve 30ml (2 tablespoons) of citric acide in 100ml of water. Citric acid can be bought from chemists or shops that sell winemaking kits. I got mine from Wilkos. Step Two: Add to Ferric Chloride to Make Edinburgh Etch Solution Measure 400ml of 40% strength ferric chloride and add your 100ml citric acid solution to it. I bought my ferric chloride premixed from eBay, but it is also available from printmaking supppliers and electronic supply companies. Step Three: Cut and Apply Vinyl Prep your copper so it's free of grease and dirt - the easiest way is to buff with some fine wet and dry paper. Cut your vinyl, weed the parts that will be etched, then transfer to the copper using transfer tape. Remember to protect the back of your piece. Step Four: Etch I popped some double sided tape on the back of my pieces and attached a little section of foam to make the pieces float, face down. Set your timer for 20 minutes - adjusing the time depending on the depth of etch you would like. Once you are happy with the depth of etch, pop a little sodium carbonate ( soda crystals) on your piece to neautralise and prevent further etching. I etched one piece with plain ferric chloride and one with Edinburgh Etch. I found the latter etched better, and also surprised me by producing a beautiful rainbow effect when removed from the solution. If you like this effect, it can be protected with Renaissance Wax or resin. Finish as desired, I oxidised with platinol and then polished the bird to highlight. Step FIVE: Reusing - Testing Freshness Edinburgh Etch can remain active for several years and allows for a great many pieces to be etched without dimished performance. You can tell if the solution needs replaced by dipping a strip of white paper into the liquid and checking the colour: Edinburgh Etch Freshness Colour Chart.

I bought a big bag from Wilkos for a pound, but I've read that bicarb and plaster of paris also works. Once neutralised, as with salt-water etching, take it to your Local Authority waste disposal site. For more information on Edinburgh Etch, check out the inventor's website nontoxicprint.

After the last post I did on my blog (look below :) ) I had to learn how to do the photo etching myself! I did buy Kay's at Cleversomeday's ebook to get a better idea. You can find it in Facebook group of Kay's for the Silhouette here... https://www.facebook.com/groups/silhphotoetch/ The group is filled with amazing people that are so helpful and a lot of awesome ideas as well! You can do this with your Silhouette and Cricut machines with the Chomas Creations engraving tip :) Chomas Creations store Here is the picture I started with. I used a program online called remove.bg to get rid of the background. And then I used a sketch program on my iPhone to change the file to a sketch. You don't need to do this step buy I wanted more contrast because of her light hair. The rest you have to learn in the ebook! I just wanted to show my starting points. Her tail was a bit cut off in the pic so I lined that up with the end of my engraved design. Make sure when you add you acrylic piece to the mat you use double sided adhesive or painters tape to hold your item in place. It is so important that it doesn't wiggle on the mat! I did this with the Silhouette as I am waiting for my Explore to arrive and wanted to see how it would turn out. I was impatient and I wasn't let down at all! I set the software to sketch, pen, and then put the pressure at 30 and the speed at 10. Here is my finished design!!!! EEEEEEK! I did try to add a black piece of cardstock behind the acrylic piece here so you could see even more details Let me tell you how HARD it is to take a pic of acrylic LOL! It is HARD! You can see it so much better in real life and you can even see the detail in her eyes! Like what you see? Leave a comment to let me know! Thanks Amy Chomas
