    Copper/Sterling Bi-Metal can look like this: 

    Fold, engrave, etch and carve to reveal these contrasting surfaces
    (1/8 copper by thickness). Combine with the other bimetals for great
    effects. Melting point 1432 F(+/-20 ). Please order in one inch
    increments. Minimum 1 x 1 inch. Maximum 3 x 12 inches.

    Add some PNP Blue as a resist Can be from here:

    At last an iron on mask that really works! Make printed designs for
    anodizing and acid etching in minutes. Print your designs direct from
    a laser printer or photo copier. PnP Blue has two layers of special
    material. Your design is printed on the blue layer. When the image is
    ironed on to the metal the blue transfers too. This adds an extra
    thick coating of protection. Tests in our studio indicate that the
    coating holds up well to 100 volts. 

    For workers in non-ferrous metals this is a resist made for you. It
    works well in ferric chloride, ammonium persulfate and sodium
    persulfate diluted to manufacturer's specifications. A household
    iron is all you need. After use the resist is easily removed with
    lacquer thinner. 

    And you are in business. 

    Please excuse the blatant horn blowing.
