Something Different

The mezzotint that I have been working on for the last month (see previous posts) is now at the critical stage where I need to think carefully about which areas I work on more and which I leave alone. I don't want to overwork it, so I've put it aside for a while and spent a couple of days cutting this small engraving.

As I don't have a book binding press to print with, I made a false bed from a piece of MDF the same thickness as the wood block so that I can run it through my etching press.

Strictly speaking it's not a wood engraving as it has been worked on a plastic substitute called Resingrave which I bought from TN Lawrence printmaking supplies.
