I am very lucky to have a local place, Metal Source, were I buy most of my supplies. I used 22 ga. (.025") brass and any alloy will do. In a pinch you can buy brass door kick plates at your local home center, but you will need to strip the lacquer. A while ago I saw Mark Frauenfelder's limited edition Moleskin notebooks on BoingBoing and immediately thought of using the electrolytic brass etching process that I've been experimenting with to make some similar notebooks to give as gifts this year. As you can see they came out quite well and the Moleskin's two century history lends the project a certain Steampunk street cred. This is a technique I adapted for easily impressing images into brass plate. First we use a laser printer to print a negative of our image onto a sheet of inkjet glossy photo paper. Next we use an iron set to it's highest setting to melt the toner onto the brass plate.
