The picture at this size doesn't really do it justice. This is a lovely piece, the etching is amazing. I think for cost and time effectiveness, it would be a good idea to have multiple pieces in mind to complete at the same time. The result looks very expensive. Great idea!

I like this project, but there's one thing they forgot. You should protect the back of the disks from the etchant solution.

Was wondering about that, I thought so too. Still very lovely project, one of the better ones.
