copper plate

Drawing and experimenting, re-learning how to do all the etching/print techniques.
Sometimes I think the plate is more lovely than the image you print from it......

Back in the studio

I finally made it into the print studio! bet you didn't think that was going to happen....

I didn't get to print all the plates I have but it was really nice to familiarize my self with the equipment again, there are lots of little processes and tid-bits to help thing flow smoothly that crept back to me as I went further along. I've really missed doing this and I felt elated for the rest of the day- or maybe I was just light-headed from the slightly toxic inks...

I was just playing around with some dried flower arrangements, ideas for a drawing project

 This is my small leaf plate-half finished

Finished, ready to take to the print workshop and get my hands dirty!

I haven't printed for a long while, I have quite a few little plates to print.
