my creative space: drypoint etching workshop

This week I was lucky enough to attend another drypoint etching workshop with Rochelle Summmerfield, the same one I did last month. I was so happy to get the opportunity to redo my little rain cloud design as I wasn't 100% happy with how they turned out. I re-etched my rain cloud design at home and then off I went to the workshop to do some printing... too  much fun!

I did two prints on archival paper. I am so thrilled with how these dry point etchings turned out! I'm not sure which one I like best... the first one is a lot more defined, with cleaner lines, where as the second one, I deliberately left more ink on it to make it look a bit grungier!  I like them both... hmmm which one to frame???

I also made another knitted bunny for little friend's birthday and I couldn't help myself, I had to make a little skirt too! I do enjoy making these funny knitted animals :)

  2. I love them both. Hmm, decisions. Frame them both and give one as a gift, maybe? They're both awesome.
