Mr Von Slatt, of the Steampunk Workshop (out of which a great many good things are emerging, I might add) has written up a pair of new articles (part 1 and part 2) continuing his good work with electrolytic etching of brass. Mr Von Slatt wondered if he could take that etching to its logical conclusion, and actually cut out things using the etching process – I think you can see from the image above that he managed it very well indeed!

It reads as detailed as a tutorial would do, and shows how Mr Von Slatt experimented first with Girl Genius inspired trilobite broaches (which quickly became the envy of his daughters), and then with the above earings and bracelet charms, all of a Steampunk theme. Personally, I’m just bubbling with the thought that Mr Von Slatt has discovered how to make his own very Steampunk cogs! :*: Very well done, Mr Von Slatt – you’re quickly becoming somewhat of an expert in the etching field, at least for Steampunk!
