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!

Schmaltzy plays again.

I love this one of "A-train" he is a classical musician turned "schmaltzy" but he still plays with perfect classical form.

And here's Rhett with his hot licks.
