Volia, etch.
I tried photomask and all kinds of other methods, this worked out the best for me.

Btw, Michael (Mist) shared this method with me, its how they do circuit boards sometimes.

That's down to the letter how I do it, Q-tip and all!
I also use the first part of transferring any pattern to metal for later cutting it by a saw, really good for intricate patterns.
I've also used different stencils,I cut them by hand and attach them to a piece of filt that in turn is attached to a piece of metal.
Dip it in the etching solution and power on, quick and dirty!
