Hi Ginger,

    When I was in college we did some etching on brass and copper using a
    permanent magic marker as the resist and radio shack's etching
    solution for etching computer boards. The longer you left if the
    deeper the etch. Also, we did original designs on the computer and
    than printed them on t -shirt transfer paper and ironed it on our
    metal. Than we used ferric acid (do this with a mask and in well
    ventilated room or outside). I was suprised at the detail I got. I
    used either sterling or fine silver for this. Really can't remember.

Hope this helps,
Linda Reboh
