As a reader of this Blog, you would probably guess that I prefer to photograph and make artwork based on the natural world. However a challenge was issued to make a print based on something quite different to the images that I would naturally choose. This is a photo on the left that I took of an old water pump that used to pump water into steam engines. It was situated on the side of an old railway line and I was attracted to the lovely old patina and colours of the artifact. Making a printing plate of it however is a really big challenge and I'm not at all sure that it will work out. On the right is the plate so far, with a long way yet to go.
