Another small drypoint etching, a little different, a little bit closer this time. I was attracted to the almost 'impossible' bend in this trunk. I wonder what made it grow this way. As you can see there is a bit more variety in the depth of marks that have been made in this aluminium plate.

Then just because a third one for the series - 'Autumn'.  Again this started as a little two minute sketch in a scrap paper accordion pocketbook. I keep meaning to have a go at taking the metal plate out with me and working directly, scratching the marks in situ. One day I will remember...

I love this colour combination of Caligo's Yellow Ochre and Charbonnel's Soft Black. The black can be so delicate and smokey. Perfect for Autumn's forest mist I think.

Prints from both editions can be found in my Folksy Store.
