Etching

This is what the finished zinc plate looks like.

This is the final stage of the etching.

This was the second-to-last stage.

I had some issues with the aquatint, but

it added interest to the print.

This was the third stage.

I added some mesh-like soft ground.

This was the first stage of my etching print.

At this point, I was unsure of how I wanted the design to look.
