Beardy Man Take 2

I did an etching workshop for the whole of yesterday that was just lovely. And, having taken my sketchbook with me, i recreated my beardy man on a zinc plate and spent the last hour or so printing. It was so lovely learning the whole complicated-but-not-really process of what i though was just scratching into a plate and printing and i made sure i made notes so i can amble in there on a friday and just do it myself next time. My prints are still drying in the etching room so i'll just have to content myself by scanning in the plate covered with my greasy fingerprints.
