Etching from copper plate

Over the last week or so I have been working on the copper etching below -Which was based off of one of my photo shoots.

The second image below was then created from the copper plate from above - but then I aquatinted it to give it a bit more definition -- It was the first aquatinting that I have tried. I liked the process but would like to try it a few more times to really get use to it a lil more. I also did a lil bit of dry point on it before printing.

Intaglio & Chine Colle'

Last week I had created this intaglio print from a plastic plate. It is 11.75"x 15.75" -- I then decided that I wanted to make it into a chine colle' intaglio print.- Here are two examples.

Linoleum Print: Grandpa

Finished the linoleum print - it was the first one I have ever done... very cool! I made a few for my family, and will be able to give them it on Easter.... I have been trying to start making some stuff that I can give to family members... Since at different times they ask for a piece... but then I just have ONE... so this type of artwork seems like it would be great to give each a piece.
