Etching hand

Keri Smith : Wreck this journal.

 

In late 1980s I had a change to try etching.

I have admired old art printing, Doré, Blake...

 

I got to know a little bit how it's done...

I have saved this one copper plate, I like how time has changed it... done it's own art on it's surface.

 

When doing Keri Smith's Wreck this Journal page "Trace your hand" I started with simple hand tracing.. then worked it more... then added a little from wikipedia article.. then a little bit of Beatles... then Chad Addams bit... And last got idea to use a little bit of this etching...
