Just finished the etching/aquatint/softground!
Finished editioning “make___” a couple weeks ago. This is a picture of one of the editions.
Schematics for drafting class. Mainly just playing with the form and seeing what it does.
“Flyway” [in motion]. Walnut, Silk, Bronze, Steel, and Jute. 2012
My favorite pair of boots died recently. Now I’m taking apart one of them in the hopes of using the pattern to make a new pair of boots that will be even better. Also the soles are still in good condition so I will reuse them on the new pair.
Finally got rid of the soft ground splotches and got a good shadow on the ground. I’m calling this plate done and ready to edition.
Working on the etching/soft ground/aquatint. I added a bit more to the background. Now it is time to burnish some details back into visibility. For some reason a square in the middle didn’t get as much pressure, probably a bad felt or something.
Soft ground and aquatint over dry point. I screwed up the soft ground but have managed to mostly rescue it with the aquatint. I am especially pleased with how the face turned out. I’m still working on it, mainly evening out the background and making some shadows darker.
Blocking parts for the crochet machine project.
The aquatint/etching is coming along nicely
