Etched

It's too cold to torch, I know, I'm sounding like a broken record, or perhaps I should say a scratched cd.  I'm antsy so I pulled out my old jar of etching cream and thought I'd try etching a couple of beads.

I didn't take before and after shots, but this first one I did not like much before etching, now its pretty dreamy

.

The second one was just downright ugly, but with a bit of etching I can almost imagine it as an ancient bead dug up from somewhere. It's still not my favourite but I think I saved it from the junk pile!
