• This piece is printed using 2 copper etching plates. 1 plates is inked (cicada) & the second is blind embossed (diamond chop mark)
• The copperplate is coated with a resist and the design is drawn onto the surface. It is then etched in Ferric Chloride, which bites the design into the copper plate. This process was repeated 4 times on this plate.
• The plate is then inked with etching ink. The ink sits in the grooves, whilst the surface ink is wiped off. The ink is then drawn from the incised lines, onto dampened paper, using an etching press.
