Nobody wanted the process but here ya go

under cut bc it’s long

Started off with the sketch

Tar coated the copper, then etched my design into it using transfer paper :)

Acid washed the tar off, then started applying asphalt to block out shades. This was light grey (I forgot to get a photo of white). it sat in the acid for 2 minutes, and then was oxidized.

medium grey! This sat in the acid for 4 minutes.

Dark grey. It was in the acid for 8 minutes and I got splashed lol

And finally the black! This sat in the acid for 15 minutes. I then had to scrub off the asphalt with soy oil, then whitened it. After that I got to print it :)

Joined my second copper print making class. It’s of my aunt and her mother, and my aunt’s favorite words of advice, “Be good, but if you can’t be good, be careful.”

Learned copper plate printing this weekend. Mine is the horrific hybrid of horseshoe crabs and the Grateful Dead (my dad’s favorite band). After drawing out my design, I copied it onto the copper plate and etched it out. It felt good to be creative again.

Oh dear. That is the name of the title and the mood, the artist saw in this young terrier. Isn't he cute like a cat? I love terriers. Also the one-season-tv-series from 2010.
