Will someone please help me or point me in the right direction? I
have seen small leaves, pinecones and othe natural materials that
have “been covered with a layer of copper and then coated with
gold”. Does anyone know the process used to accomplish this and
if so, would you tell me where I can get this ?
Ruth,
You could try the following lists, sepecially the ArtMetal list
and get into the archive. There was a long discussion about
electroplating and electroforming on the list recently, sources,
how to’s, whys etc. Hope this helps.

What you need to do is send the computer a message (don’t send it to
the email list–see address below). What I do is put the message in
for subject, and also in the body of the letter. The message should be
the only thing in the letter–remove your signature.
Here’s the computerese:
index [archive | path-to-archive] [/password] [-all]
Get a list of files in the selected archive, or the master archive if
no archive was specified. If an archive is private, you have to
provide its password as well.
get <archive | path-to-archive> [/password] [parts]
Get the requested file from the specified archive. Files are usually
split in parts locally, and in such a case you will receive the file
in multiple email messages – an ‘index’ request tells you how many
parts the file has been split into, and their sizes; if you need to
obtain certain parts, specify them as optional arguments. If an
archive is private, you have to provide its password as well.
Here’s an example which I actually used (and it worked):
get theforge log9608
log9608 means the digest for August, 1996. Be careful not to put a
space between log and 9608.
Here is (I think) what you want to send:
get ARTMETAL log9608
except that you will need to figure out which log you want. You do
that with the index command, like this:
index ARTMETAL -all
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Don’t send these to the email list; use a different address:
listproc@wugate.wustl.edu
Be careful with the spelling; you’re corresponding with a computer
with zero imagination. If it doesn’t work, write me.
