Printmaking in Spain - gobbledygook...???

"Agave I" aquatint etching

"Agave II" aquatint etching

It is interesting to be working and working and working and working, after a while, you have to come up for air, realize there are people living out there (really??) and breathe deeply, and ask yourself, am I talking sense, in this new language of mine.... or just muttering away to myself??
If this is not the most blatant fishing attempt you have ever seen, I don't what would be.. never mind :o)) I am also getting to be so intimately aquainted with aquatint, that I can't even spell anymore, and I am, still, deeply in love with my aquatint box, my little miracle worker.... I call him, yes, I know, but it is, a him..... affectionately :o)

  2. I love these Mariann. How did you get the two colors? Don't tell me you put the brown on a la poupée?! What patience. I presume the yellow background is the paper color. Can't wait to see you and learn all your tricks. Too bad there won't be time for aquatint!
