Etchings

this is how I begin an etching, you can see the sketch on the right, and then I trace it onto the copper plate that has black gunky stuff over it. I draw through the gunky stuff to expose the copper, then it goes into the acid, which eats away the exposed copper. Then I ink the copper up and viola! Below is how the image looks once it's printed on a piece of paper. blah blah blah, it's hard to explain what "printmaking" is.

Also, I moved AGAIN. Here is my new bedroom!

glad to see you still have the temple plaque gracing your home. looks lovely. i need an artists touch on my bedroom decorating. when you get here, you can help me. also, if you have a little print that i could frame and hang on my wall, that would be cool. love you.
