Art Inspired Etching Project

     I was listening to my friends’ and my favorite song, “World On A String” by Frank Sinatra when I read about this project. I decided to model my keychain off of that song. The words “Life’s a wonderful thing” is something my friend and I say that is based off the real lyrics “Life’s a beautiful thing”. My biggest challenge was etching because you have to be so precise and you can’t just erase it if you make a mistake, also, often times I don’t realize I messed up until after the piece has already been etched. I really enjoyed stamping with this project. I learned how to make a keychain ring. I challenged myself by sawing out two perfect circles that were identical and filing and sanding them down. I feel that the final piece turned out pretty well for me. I definitely could have etched better because I messed up a little bit and some areas have thicker lines than other areas.
