Fish Messages © 1992. 2-1/4 x 5-1/2 x 1 inch. Brass, sterling silver, gold solder, pearl, copper, shells, coral, star fish. Fabricated. The design on the tail and fins is acid etched. I used gold solder to "color" the silver pages and body. It's hard to control, but you can just let the solder flow over the metal. Sometimes it flows nicely into etched lines. You can also try to push it around with a soldering pick.
