Below are two new drawings of a lamb’s skull, side on. One pencil only, and one pencil with watercolour. The skull is a source of endless fascination, with a myriad of nooks and crannies, shadows and ridges.

Cardboard etchings of Tibetan Prayer Flag and more
I have continued to explore the possibilities of using cardboard as an etching plate. The following works have been printed using Graphics etching ink (sepia) on 250 gsm Dutch etch paper. For this print run, I only sprayed the surface of the paper with water, and then blotted the paper (rather than extensively soaking the paper), I also used PVC and acrylic fine tooth medium to alter the degree of abrasion on the plate surface.
