.... So here is my first attempt in etching. The process is so much fun: you start by scribing out the design on a zink metal plate, then you bite it in acid, rub the ink on it, prepare the wet paper and run it through the press one time. This way u dont have to actually re-do the design if you want more of them, you dont have to draw it every time. Instead- with an etching - you have the design ready on a " template", for you to re-ink and press at anytime. This is one of the techniques of printmaking. I call these " Rastababy" ( as seen on clothing ) and " Michael" the one and only king of pop. Enjoy it people! Enjoy!
