Bunny Blog

My Dad made this awesome piece of art for the office:

It is etched in Ferric Chloride (FeCl3) onto a four inch diameter copper water pipe. My Dad used to be the executive director of a migrant clinic in Pasco, Washington called La Clinica, and a lover of copper, he took some of the pipes home with him when the clinic was being remodeled.  He then cut them apart using an arc-welder, etched the bunny logo onto them, and then mounted them on this red stained wood.  It is attached using homemade copper rivets, which he cut and fashioned from copper wire.  He then painted inside the etching so as to give it more dynamic contrast.

According to my Mom, he was tap-tap-tapping on those rivets for quite some time.  Probably almost driving her crazy.

Thanks, Dad!  It’s gorgeous!
