Enameled Brooch Setting Re-Work


 My first attempt at making the frame setting was not successful. It was fretfully flimsy. The form would not hold
 Round One Back
Round Two Front

Since the structure would not support, I went back to the drawing board. I wanted to create a semi-hollow form for the face. Tabs from the back would close over the front.

I plotted the above on vinyl with an adhesive back to form the resist for saltwater etching of the score marks



 Vinyl is on the copper
 Now it is in the saltwater solution for etching

After I removed it from the etch, I burned off the adhesive from the vinyl with the torch. This is what the piece looked like before I set it in the pickle.
