Hi guys.
Here's my latest project. My mum asked for a stylus as she is getting an Ipad for christmas, so as its my Mum, i didnt want to make just a stylus.
I picked up a kit combining a stylus into a pen, and turned its body from brass.
The brass was then masked, and etched to depth with Ferric chloride
I then treated the piece with selenius acid, and Phosphoric acid to blacken the brass. Once done, the masking was removed, and then I 24ct gold plated the raised pieces using potassium cyanide.
Pen assembled, and viola... Hopefully one happy mother with a pen to cherish.
as always, thanks for looking . critque welcome
