This is the first of a set of posts detailing projects that never made it to the blog. This last winter, I was working on a relationship with an ex of mine, and I decided to learn a new trade skill to make her something impressive. So I etched some copper plates using the electrolytic etching method outlined at steampunkworkshop.com and attached them to moleskin notebooks. It’s really quite an interesting process, and the results are spectacular. This is the first of the two plates:
