Copper Plate Etching

I've been experimenting a lot recently with printmaking. This was a copper etching I did of a cave in Sicily called Orecchio di Dionisi. I tried different ways of applying the ink. The light one here is a ghost print, meaning it is a second print without applying more ink after the first. It's a relatively small plate (probably 3x4" or so). I've already prepared another plate for my next etching. I hope to get this done before next week's midterm review with the visiting critic, or to do another linoleum cut (like the ones I did for the show last week).
