I have been electroforming some new fabrics this week to see what they will turn out like and if they are suitable for gold embroidering on. These ones are prepared with acrylic sealant ready to be painted with conductive paint...We shall await their outcome. Although I am having some slight problems with the tank at the moment and trying to work out why it isn't conducting the copper properly.
This weekend will be filled up with piercing out this heap of steel sheet into ornate patterns that co-ordinate to make up a large statement piece. I was using 2mm thick steel which was really tough, but have managed to find slightly thinner sheet (1.5mm) This is strong enough to be ornately pierced yet easy enough for my blade to run through.
