Etching



 After our attempts at making an embossing plate in the lazer cutter 
we tried a new approach, making an etching plate.
Niall and I went down to the Vernon Street print rooms and inquired
about making an etching plate for embossing. The technicians there 
were so helpful and we got started right away.
We went through all the stages of photo etching to produce a
plate that would have our logo on it and would have a clean 
cut edge for embossing.
It had to stay in the chemicals over night to get a deep enough outline
so it would leave a good impression.
We will go back tomorrow to see how it turns out!
