Wow! I’ve never done this technique on Lino because of the cost of the Lino. However, this opens up the multi color process as the plexi is so much cheaper. Thank you!

I’d never thought of a multi plate dry point like that before. Great idea and result

[AinoShperber]

Very nicely done!!! So satisfying when the black plate arrives. I need to try something like this... We'll see if my lack of patience can handle it. 😅

Wonderful video, bird, and processing.

Really stellar design, beautiful colors, and excellent explanation of your process!

Hi Marta! Thank you for this process video. It's always enjoyable witnessing that last layer and how it pulls the whole print together.

[Noreenechen]

One of your best process video IMO :-) So sorry your plates went missing…Hope they decide to return!

Lovely print, thoroughly enjoyed watching the process. What was that fabulous little book you were using for choosing your colour ways. Looks like a great little tool. Thanks for sharing again.

Great colours and design! When you put the 2nd, 3rd and 4th plates though the press, it looks like the plates were on top of the print. Is this safe for the blankets? or did you flip them before going through the press? Also, do you find plexiglass better for drypoint than PETG? Much thanks.

why don't you print your colour book. I would be interested in buying a copy.
