After recieving Tim Holtz's new alterations dies from Blue Bazaar the other day, I knew straight away that I wanted to make a cuff bracelet. The only thing was, would it cut through my 24 gauge copper sheet. Yes it does. (though it may damage your die, it didnt mine, though beware)
Once I had die cut the copper, I got on with metal etching using a Technique Tuesday and one of Tim's scroll stamps for the design. Once the etching was complete, I gently bent the copper and one of Tim's ornate bookplates. (another beware they do break easy when trying to be bent), added a Collections pic and filled it with Ice Resin (which if your in Australia) you can buy it from my dear friend and Australia's sole distributor Jen Crossley. And 'viola' cuff made.
Love Sarah

Hi Sarah!
I love your cuff! I would like to know more information about the technique of etching - what is Technique Tuesday? Is this a process - I'm so interested to learn how to create this look! Thank you for showing your lovely creations -
I'm interested in a complete tutorial. This is an amazing creation. I'd love to make one. Thanks for sharing. Annie
Fabulous make! I love it when people really push the boundaries with their crafty materials, brilliant
beautiful work! I'm amazed at how many altered books you have created, all gorgeous! I've been slowly working on three right now, it's such a slow but enjoyed art form.
