Title: Etching questions
Post by: Kaz on March 31, 2010, 10:39:23 PM
Has anyone ever etched any of the mystic colours - and, if so, how did they turn out?
Has anyone etched multicolour - what happens?
Has anyone etched frit beads on a silver foil base - what happens?
Just before I do......

Lol! So many questions!! I can only help with multicolour cuz I know Kate (of the sublime nature) etched some mc discs. Will have to find the thread though!

Thanks folks - I have some lovely mystic beads that have de-vited slightly in a couple of places so I think etching may work out well.
Got to try the MCD too!

kaz if the mystic gets the devit around the mandrel give it a nice bathe in mid to top flame until it has a good glow, the devit goes.

Oh yes, indeed they did!  I think the Mystics should be called Velvets instead actually  ;D
