Hi all...had a conversation with our buddy Mr.Smitty and I hate to inform you all, but he is having ISP problems and looks like he will be off line for a couple of weeks. He also asked me to post these photo's of his experiment in this for him. and I copied in a part of his letter.....
The pictures attached are of silverstaining with the letter S blended staining which works great also , there are so many possibilities here as you know, very exciting! I mixed amber with the yellow in equal parts with white vinegar but water also works well. The acid etching would be the next thing to do ,white etch, then the 3 tones after.
I'll just add for everyone that this is the same process used by the old masters in the photo with "Bottles and Jugs" brilliant cut into the glass, from the earlier post on "Victorian Silverstaining"
