well i cheated, 3 mins in the toaster oven and hey presto

the copper plates showed up really great, i have a few more in the noggin just have to do some home work

the dilemma was which side should the writing go and i think i picked the wrong side, let me know what you guys think

the photos were taken a bit close to dusk but i am sure you get the picture

all C&C welcome

thanks for looking
