PRINT MAKING: ETCHING TECHNIQUE

I combined my etching skills and fabric skills to create a collection of botanical prints. In the background, I imprinted a piece of fabric on the plate. I then covered the plate in hard ground, so I could draw my botanical design on top of the textural background. With oil paint, I created two colors and then combined the two to have a cohesive third print.   

Materials: Hard ground and soft ground etching on copper plate, printed on Japanese paper
