Happy Tuesday peeps!!!

Mixing up a pretty blue to print the islands 💙. What is the white stuff? This is magnesium, it makes the ink stiffer. If the ink is too viscous all the tiny wee fine drawn lines in the image could fill in while printing.

Before applying the second etch 🧪 to stabilise

Before applying the second etch 🧪 to stabilise the image rosin is applied and gently brushed on with a soft brush 🧹.

Rosin is tree resin that is collected from different types of pine trees 🌲

➡️ rosin protects the greasy areas from the acidic areas and acts as a buffer to the action of the acid.

➡️ talcum powder is then applied to protect the drawn image.

A second etch 🧪at 2️⃣ drops of acid less than the 1st etch is then made up and applied to the stone to stabilise the image for printing.

From memory, I think the first etch was 5 drops of acid and the second etch was 3 drops for this image.
