Good LORD man! I have minimal knowledge of the etching process as you know, but this is baffling as to how you got all those textures and cracks... It's absolutely gorgeous.
I clicked on the image, and suddenly found my nose dangerously close to the computer monitor, trying to take in every little detail. (that's a good thing) Beautiful work!
Thanks so much, Jeremy and Susan! I have to credit David Driesbach for showing me how to etch "cracks" in the plate. I'd never seen that technique in any of the books.
Holy shit. John, I am floored by this.
I am speechless (or, textless.)
Siobhan--thanks so much.
I like this so much!
Thanks for the kind words~
