very cool project Becky! is not so expensive as everybody think, at a hobby store, i saw copper sheets 3 times bigger, at 5€, so, i don't know where's the problem of it. Also a little question, instad of using silver wire, you can use solder and solder the veins to the copper heart? this way you save some cement and i guess that silver wire is also expensive, i don't know.
Well, say to your friend, that gets well from my part ;)

Yeah, but to solder such a big piece of copper, you need an acetylene torch. Since this is an introductory video, I wanted to show how you could get started without a huge equipment investement!

Could you draw on the etched copper with some lead free solder? That would be cool.

Yes, in fact filling the etched recesses with solder is another metalworking technique, it results in a neat two-tone effect. I don't have an acetylene torch to pull it off, though! =]
