I have been experimenting with deeply etched steel. But one important thing I have learned is that not all steel is created equal.
This scrap of steel was put in the same etching bath as the deeply etched pieces, on the same day at the same time ( ie MOST of the variables were the same- apart from the steel) I posted a few days ago, it was left for a slightly shorter time, but the etch is totally different. The steel has cracked and crazed. It has produced some interesting textures- but it has proved quite unpredictable.
A lesson to learn from this.
