Dear Folks out there
Just read a post re using copper for gravure etc. I realized that I had
gone to a scrap metal yard and purchased 35 yards of copper foil about
three times as thick as standard aluminum foil.
I was going to use it by making digital files of shadows and having them
laser cut into the copper....but now that I realize that perhaps I can
place a photograph on the copper surface, maybe etched....are there any
ideas out thaere on how to go about it, or ho=w to alter a standard etching
process so as to place photography onto my metal foil?
Thanks
