I'll be honest, I can't remember if I've posted an image of a print from this plate before, but if I have, this is still slightly different. When I first make a plate I test it on cartridge paper, before I ever other to print it on decent paper, but this one is printed on really good quality etching paper, and it picks up the plates marks differently.
The print above is what got me started on the most recent work, and I realised from this that I wanted to spend some time making prints which were very deeply etched, and which have lots of texture. It might sound simple, but it's harder than it seems to get the sort of marks that you really want.
