I've thought about it. It'd certainly make the lines pop out better... Just need to figure out how I want to do it I suppose.

That is very nice- have you thought about 'coloring' areas of the etched surface by using a patina?

Thanks!

Thanks! The effort was inspired by a friend of mine telling me last December that I had a show. Around the same time I saw a link to a site that explained how to do etchings...

As for Paradise Lost, well, Satan is the most interesting character in it, and it seemed to fit with the post-apocalypse theme (both in terms of the content of the quote and the original context of it). Besides, it saved me from having to quote from Fallout or Mad Max.Smile

Very Cool! What inspired

Very Cool! What inspired the effort? Also, I highly approve of the Paradise Lost quotation on the linked page. Even if it is quoting Satan. :P
