Et sois la plus heureuse...

A little work on zinc (the plate is 5x2cm) double-sided, these two verses by Apollinaire, ending his poem Si je mourais là-bas...



Quite happy with the result, even before removing the varnish, the plate looked nice.

failed cadel

I'm trying to use other metallic plates than zinc ones to engrave cadels letters. This time, a bit of "I don't know what" previously used as a lid of a cigar box.

Maybe anoter try soon with another kind of varnish ??
