When I've used ferric chloride with copper plates, I sprayed the plate one time and bit the plate for 1 hour. Steve,

Can you suggest timings, spray coverage and repeats to achieve a rich black. I have tended to open bite for two mins to remove all shiny surface then spray and etch and spray and etch to build up more dots and lessen exposed area. Any advice. Hi

I love the idea of the "unstable" and "unpredictable". I think that we artists have also to be surprised by our own work!

We were so glad we did! The piece is so strong and thought-provoking. We ended up redecorating our entire living room around it! Best of luck and continued success. Clara,

I poked holes into the top of the drawings from which fishing line is tied so that the drawings hang from 2 nails on the wall.
