Etched Brass Plate


Following some online instructions, I made an etched brass plate..

I followed the instructions on the Steampunk Workshop and am quite pleased with the results.. I used only vinegar and salt as the etching solution, no nasty EBMUD-disallowed copper sulfate.
This image is taken from Robert Hooke's Micrographia; I plan to use it and some other of his illustrations on notebooks of mine..
(By the way, the entire free text of Micrographia, including the illustrations, can be found here.)
