I have to admit that I really enjoyed experimenting with and learning how to anodise titanium! Bellow is a photo of stage 2 of the layered picture I was working on before… I’m not quite sure what to do with it now, but I’m happy to keep it to look at every now and then as a reminder of what can be done, and I have no doubt that something beautiful will be born from my hands one day as a result of this.

Today I started trying out a layered picture with anodised titanium. This is a bit of an experiment and here you see it in its first stage with the first colour and the resist waiting to dry…

I’ve decided to aquire some new skills to equip myself for my metal collages, so I’ve been playing with different ways to colour metal.
Firstly I learnt how to anodise Titanium
Here are some tips: To mix 1l of etching solution -> 40ml hydrofloric acid / 200ml hydrochloric acid / 760ml distilled-deionised water. Be VERY careful with the hydrofloric acid! It must not get on yur skin!
For the electrolite solution you can use coke, phosphoric acid or borax
