Etching Mirrors

The etching is done with a dremel and grinding or engraving bit. There are several different shapes and sizes and what is used depends on the size of the outline part of the picture. Several changes are made to suit what area I am working on. I haven't used the chemical etching but I find this very relaxing as it is like colouring in. However the noise of the machine sometimes does'nt make it a particularly peaceful time. !!!

As with all mirrors it is a very difficult object to photograph, especially if you dont want your own reflection in it too! So I appologise for the lack of detail able to be seen in some of the photographs.
