Eye of the Cat
This is a photo I thought of working from in Helen Wilson's http://www.helenwilsonartist.com/ Printmaking workshop today. Our printer is not working so I worked from some older photo's I had. My first thought was to print from some very old copper plates from college. After trying that for too long I did a drypoint etching on plexiglass.
Each print has little differences, the wiping off of the ink is critical to the outcome.
I was photographing in poor lighting. Thats why they are all different colors!

Also tried embossing with one of my little wire sculptures. I'm very impressed with the detail. I worried it would dry flatter.....they seem to be fine! I'll have to try daylight photos!
One AP or artist proof and 6 prints. In daylight the prints differ, partly from wiping and in part because of the different paper used. Very fun thing to do!
