I love etching! Here are some pictures of my etched prints. I'm considering selling them.
Soy Cow etches!
The old dinner conversation creature continues! (I made a plush version of him last year)
I made lots of envelopes prints with him. This right here uses fine art paper.
Snow White- Mother version (I made a series of this and experimented with colors and techniques)
Etch, a million aquatints, two million burnishes, and water color print
I spent the longest time working on this piece.
Here is the back story for the piece:
Snow White starts off with a beautiful woman pricking her finger and watching the blood drip from her fingers symbolizing the start of her womanhood and end of her innocence. Mother in this piece is depicted as a simple figure that tries very hard to retain her beauty. Snow White easily surpasses her beauty at an early age as the mirror tells us. This is when Snow is forced out of her home to live in the forest. She lives well and enjoys her freedom in the woods. She meets Mother in disguise and is fooled by a beautiful poisoned comb. Years pass and Snow White is now a young, blossoming adult that cares very much about her appearance. She sees a peddler selling corset lace and is once again tricked by her mother. The next time we see Snow White, she no longer cares about how she looks and takes up the housekeeping duties. We don't see mother in this scene because she is not physically attacking her like the other times. Snow White isn't as gullible as before and Mother uses more cunning to poison the girl; half the apple is safe and the other half is poisoned. When Snow sees it's alright to eat the apple, she takes a bite of it herself.
