Yet another technique in my printing arsenal! This is a sheet of soft acetate that I have carved into with an electric 'Dremel' machine. The plate was then covered with ink and wiped back to reveal the ink in just the carved grooves. This is an intaglio process as opposed to a relief process like lino cutting. A bit of work still needed here, but unfortunately I forgot to reverse the image for carving, so that the house and trees are the wrong way round in the actual print. I have reversed it in Photoshop for the purposes of the Blog, but will have to redo the carving another day, probably in lino next time.
