 Holiday Ornaments

I love the "hands on" etching process that I use to create these beautiful Holiday Ornaments. 

My friend Sephi, of ARTZOOO cuts out my Red Brass, Copper and Silver Nickel shapes.  After I clean and file, I begin by drawing my designs directly onto the metal with a paint pen. The ink from the pen prevents that area on the ornament from being etched.

 Next, I prepare the etching solution using kosher salt.

 Then, I hook up the converter that will generate low voltage current.

 After plugging in the convertor, the salt water etching process begins. The electric current slowly erodes the copper from the metal, making the drawing take shape. 

 After sanding, filing, and a bit more magic, my ornaments are complete.  They are ready for you to enjoy this holiday season.

Looking for a new take on the love holiday? How about some leather. We have an amazing Valentines Day Collection.  

I just love our Couples Love Cuffs, in black and brown cognac.  Our hand cut rivets add just a bit naughty.

Or, our Heart Motif Leather Wristlet, if you want something a bit tamer.

Maybe, you like to mix it up a bit and create your own unique gift.  We just love the look of the Three of Hearts Vintage Leather Bangle and the Couple's Love Cuff.
