A photo taken by @filmfreelancer of me inking 'tributary' The image is etched into the surface of the copper. Each print is taken by slowly wiping back the ink, leaving it in the etched lines.

I'll email over the next few days details of the release. Anyone wanting interested there's a mail sign up at the bottom of my shop page which is linked in my profile. #tributary #phlegmprints #phlegm #copperplateetching

Damp paper is placed over the copper plate protected by heavy blankets. The pressure of the press forces the paper into the incised lines to pick up the detail. #printmakingstudio

Wow, that looks very promising.

I wonder what he does with the copper plates (after printing). I hope they're framed up somewhere.
