winter moon

This one was a bit of an experiment, its an etching with the blue printed in relief, the tree in intaglio and the moon and ground are embossed - all printed in a single pass.

The inks I used were water based which caused the sky to bleed a bit too much - and the paper buckled on this one. I think it came out well on the whole though and its a trick i'll try again because registering different plates is a pain.

Little Ted

Hullo,

This is an entry into my 'teddy series' that started with Owly, I have another print in this series that I'll put up as soon as I scan it.

I can print!

'Owly' - hand coloured etching

Etchings are tricky business, but I think I've got the basic technique down. This is my first successful etching made at home.

Owly is the trusted companion of Imogen, and he heroically volunteered to be the first model for a series of stuffed toy portraits I am working on.
