First November Session

Worked all day aquatinting the dinosaur with handbag but waiting for stop out varnish to dry so still another few layers to go. etched the lines in this new plate, this also took me nearly all day to draw out, in between attending to the aquatinting process. Hmm! image isn't as strong as I'd hoped, I hope this doesn't go the same way as the sheep which were awful after many days of poring over the plate. Also tried to obliterate that plate with acid today but even after two 15-20 minutes dips, it refused to die and sheep were clearly visable. Had to leave it with Alan from him to deal with, back at the end of the month. In the meantime its the disappointing night school which resumes next week and a trip out to the print facilities in Wrexham next week. I'ver had to move a hairdessing appointment - it better be good!
