I Had to Scratch into Copper this evening.

I hope this means the studio will be opening soon. Around 6:30pm I just had an urge to scratch copper 🙂 I have had this old piece of copper backed with car paint from my toxic first years of printmaking back in the 80’s and early 90’s. So I gathered up some tools and just had fun.

The car paint over the years had gotten scatched up, so I covered the scratches with sharpie marker.

The hands are mine. I really do have a crooked finger. But I can still reach F sharp on the guitar:)

Finished, for now. That was fun. If it etches well and I come up with a lively colorful background….. I might call it “Dragon Eye”
