Etching...

Doing some etching this weekend.  I'm converting some of my tear-away sheets into something a little more permanent and with a deeper cut. 

I made the entwined fish from an old tapestry design that I found.  The picture below this one...the medallion is actual this same image put into a kaleidoscope feature I have in photoshop.



The next two are from photos of ancient tablets. 



Mudcloth designs


I an anxious to roll out some clay on these and see how the designs come out compared to the tear aways.

Gail, your etching plates look great! I haven't yet done any since class, but one of these days when I find some spare time, I'm going to!
