The plexiglass plate – in process – there’s a lot more engraving still to come. |
This video has a nice 3 minute overview of mark-making techniques for drypoint engraving on copper from the folks at Crown Point Press. The same tools will work well on plexiglass, though with varying degrees of effectiveness, depending on the hardness and flexibility of the plate material you choose. (EX: Lexan is harder than Optix, etc.) (If you don’t see the video window below, you can watch it here.)
I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world.
Beautiful Belinda.
