Day 6

Today I made some sketches for the shoot I want to do with my brother. I wrote down some plans, sitting positions and clothes. I will do it time this week. After that I finished up the piece from Friday and Sat. I used the blow dryer on it to soften the etches. I really like using the blow dryer it give me more control than using a lighter. Since I knew I wouldn't be using it I wanted to try perfecting the edges. This time I cut it tight to the picture size, remelted the edges and pressed so that it was embossed or curved down on the edge. I made this plate pretty thin compared to the first one but it is still sturdy. I had to do this because you couldn't see the picture yet. I enjoy making the plates so I did it anyway for practice. Here are all the pictures of the piece:
