First up, Airship Noir will once again
be at Maker Faire at the Kansas City Union Station! This year we will be
teaching you how to acid etch flattened pennies using the The Edinburgh
Etch (© F.K. 1997) Method, which is suitable for copper, brass, and steel.
It consists of a specific solution of ferric chloride with the addition of
citric acid as a chelating agent or catalyst. Also, we'll be showing just how
easy it is to electroplate copper onto another metal.
Several of us had a photo shoot for Ink Magazine for a spread called "Meet the
Makers" - that should be out soon. Photos from the same shoot will also run in
The Kansas City Star closer to the Faire. I'm in those photos too!
Just finished a 60 second radio commercial for Maker Faire this morning. It'll
air Tuesday on Mix 93.3 sometime between 7 and 9 am. One of my crew-mates just
finished his that airs on Monday!
I'll be teaching my Airship crew all about acid etching this Sunday at one of
our Build Days. I love making stuff!

Jenna, is there a local KC source for ferric chloride? Am setting up a larger etching tank and need more juice!
Thanks.
