Another way to create texture on copper quickly and chemical-free, versus acid etching is corrugating thin copper. A requirement for earrings is that they are lightweight, whatever enameling technique they are made in. So I found that 30 gauge copper sheet is ideal to run through the corrugator where it becomes very sturdy and ready for enameling front and back; and Thompson's transparent unleaded enamels are just the perfect combination. A fun project for my adult classes at any level.
