Grungy Brass Discs

I recently came across some brass discs that caught my attention.

What I especially liked was the size....2" diameter.

I don't normally work with metal discs that large, but the price was low enough to make me confident that I would be able to come up with a plan.

Yes, they were somewhat grungy, but grungy metal never scares me.

Actually....grungy metal is most definitely very appealing to me.

I decided to experiment with etching some of the discs and began by cleaning the surfaces with a fine grit sandpaper.

Images were transferred to the surfaces with a resist before settling the discs into a container of ferric chloride.

Around one hour later....very happy with the results and wishing that I had bought more of these grungy, brass discs.
