I have 4 other pairs in progress and will post photos when they’re finished. There’s nothing complicated about the vinyl use – you can see how it looks cut out in the top photo and I simply stick this onto the copper surface and it acts as a resist – where there’s vinyl it protects the copper and doesn’t etch and leaves a raised pattern. When done, it simply peels off – although these are tiny designs that I need to use tweezers to remove!

Of course, I love etched work, and I’m glad to hear you use salt water, too. Would love to hear more about how you used vinyl. (As for designing with software, I don’t think I’ll ever get my head around that….)
