Description
While going through my boxes, I ran across my plates from my etching class and thought I would share a couple of them.

The process is basically this: you draw something, reverse and transfer it to the film covering the plate that will resist the acid, scratch burnish, whatever into the film and place in acid, repeat until the amount of ink the plate holds produces the desired image.

I do not have prints left of either one of these, so I just took a picture of them because they still look good just as they are, well, minus a little aging from the last few years.
