I won't do the ammonia based patina , too much work for an approximate result (my tests were bad) I'll find the right more or less matte nail polish and fill the voids with it ,resulting in a more stable blue/green

This time i did the acid etch "correctly" (upside down in a warm tub of water ) and BOY is it better, no lost details, the etch is exactly my carving! I have been doing it wrong for like 6 years.........

I bevelled the sides for comfort (annealed copper is so soft it was so nice to work)

Anyway on the heron bracelet, the left hieroglyphs are a possible prononciation of my name, the right one are lifted from a tongue spreader from the same period as the general inspiration. I will admit i don't know what they mean.

The oxen bracelet has the names of the gods Sekhmet and Khnum next to each other respectively

Khnum is the god who created humans with a potter wheel, i thought it was fitting for a trans gal^^

And Sekhmet is the godess of healing and revenge, also pretty fitting^^

Sebastian Brand's "Ship of Fools" from 1494 served as a model for this work. Wahrmund Jocoserius signed as editor, the publisher is said to have been Peter Conrad Monath and the book was printed in excellent quality in Nuremberg. The original is owned by the Herzog August Library in Wolfenbüttel and measures 20.5 x 32 cm. This edition is a facsimile from 1981.

Bird and Warm, 2015

Unfortunately this matrices was stolen and did not had a chance to make a full printing edition, this was my first drawing in a copper plate. Although not perfect i loved this one dearly, so i'll share the only register i have of it. This was printed in rice paper testing from darkest ink to lighter, and this only original was offered as a gift to a wonderful house mate i had in Uni times that loved it :) Have a good one, love and let go ^^
