I love the way the copper is eaten away by the ferric chloride
leaving me with a set of moth eaten labels in copper.
Before I start enamelling on them I have inked and printed them. This has given me a 
a set of prints that have a textile feel to them as the soft ground faithfully reproduces the textures impressed into the plate.
Still working on the label idea I experimented further with enamel. Gold leaf, screen printed transfers and using watch parts as stencils.
These two pieces are the result of a days playing.

yum ... love those copper etched pieces ... the prints are exciting too in a different kind of way ... look forward with curiosity to seeing the enameling >>> Gina
Amazing Sue. Loving this during all steps of the process. But the first step shown in the first picture is calling my name!
I can see where you're going with this.... and it's working isn't it? The watch part stencils do it for me! Lesley x
I love the plates and the printed images - playtime pays off!
These are beautiful, I love the irregular shapes and deep textures. As so often with my own printmaking though, I can imagine I'd become a lot more attached to the plates themselves than the prints.
These are simply fabulous!
