Experiments, Experiments!

Today was a day for experimentation. I tried two different things today. First, electrochemical etching. I need a bigger battery. And possibly some larger diameter copper wire to carry the larger current.
That should work...
The second experiment is cooling as I type.
This one is for a wax painting medium that is supposed to have the same handling qualities as a water media. It was an old recipe; it called for beeswax, water and ammonia.
I have a ton of this made. Now it's cooling. It's supposed to cool, then be able to mix with dry pigments and water to use like watercolor, yet it's wax...
I can't wait for it to cool. I'm dying to try it!
