So I'd asked for the next available week off work (I usually work Fridays and Saturdays), so I could spend two whole days drawing and maybe catch up a bit. My boss said this week would be OK. It just didn't work out though...a whole lot of Friday 13th style problems plus the torrential rain meant that I just went to BIP and did this etching , and then went home exhausted after no sleep the previous night. Better luck tomorrow I hope.
Anyway it's hard and soft ground on steel with some aquatint. Next week I'm having an induction to etching at uni which will be great (and save me a fortune too) - they use ferric chloride though which I don't have any experience of - BIP uses nitric acid.

Lovely etching Liza. Great markings. I would love to do more etching ut it's sooo bloody expensive!
I know, I know...I find it helps to go without decent food to be able to afford it. And hey, when I get my own fully equipped printroom (which I fully intend to have one day) you can come and use my stuff!
Lovely print, Liza. Looks like a good day's work to me.
