Something unexpected with Triton

[sublimekate]

I haven't got a pic to share yet but I thought I'd share this little nugget.

I made a bead ages ago using, amongst other things, triton for surface decoration. It went on my site and bombed, I took it off and it's been lying around since.

Anyway I had the urge to etch stuff today, so popped it in, I thought oh well I'm going to loose the triton effect but never mind, it might look better.

Anyway, when it came out, it hadn't etched where the triton had been, I really wasn't expecting this, and now it's given me loads of ideas, it hasn't kept it's metalic look, it's shiny blue, but endless possiblities me thinks

Just started playing with Triton today, Kate, so great timing! Thanks for the tip.

There are a few like that - try some other DH (can't remember which ones, but others might?) But Cirrus CiM also doesn't etch (or only with great difficulty) - great for detail in skies

Khaos doesn't etch either - I made this set yonks ago, the black etched and I was really pleased with the contrast.
