Did a 40 minute etch in our Edingburg etch with this BIG hardground as soft ground. May be in love with the results. Crisp!! #etching #printprof #intaglio #bighardground #softground

Saturday morning hang out. Max is cutting things out of paper and I am prepping this plate to be etched on Monday. #etching #demoplate #printprof #intaglio #printmaker #printmaking #bighardground

I can actually say that I am excited to bite this soft ground demo plate in the acid #etching with #bighardground #printmaking

A zinc plate with etched textures from found materials.

Printed soft ground plate printed on paper using textures like crinkled wax paper, netting, curtain, plastic mesh, a fern leaf that needed a bit more pressure, crinkled aluminum foil.

After some serious testing I have learned a lot about using B.I.G hardground as a soft ground. First decent results and I have a clear path on how to teach this. #intaglio #bighardground #printmaking #tests #process
