looking for liver in all the wrong places

This is turning out to be the project from Hell.  Family has been sick with serious colds and then I got some crazy inflammation in my leg that that kept me out of the forge for weeks.  The project itself is fun, it just seems that the Norns are having a great time laughing at me. The medallion etchings aren't coming out like I like and I've thrown three or four away already.  Picking the best three and going with them. 

First picture is the pre-etch mask and the send two pictures are the post-acid etch clean up.  Next up is the Liver of Sulphur for a patina.
