Plexiglas Drypoint
4"x6"

Pulled this little plate as a demonstration for my students this week.  It was wiped a little quickly and I pulled a ghost from the plate afterward.  My plan is to work it a little more this week and pull a second proof next Tuesday and then make a series of color plates for a more complicated print.  Last time I used the carborundum technique which was a little heavy handed for my taste.  This time around I will try my diamond tip engraver to create a texture on the plexiglas to hold a thinner skim of colored ink.
