Fun with etching ink

Today’s image: my homemade setup for monoprints: the before printing setup and the actual print (turns out I had too much ink on the plate so the lines don’t look too clean). This is our pet betta fish who has not been named for fear that once it is named, it will immediately die. Beware kids, don’t try this at home… I really love monoprints but haven’t had nearly enough opportunities to do them because they are REALLY messy – the cleanup is usually more time consuming than the actual making of the print.
