On Friday I finished the scratchboard drawing of Gurnet Light I was working on. With plans of using Solar Plates vs. traditional etching plates to print it, I was happy to hear that the sun would be shining on the weekend - a necessary ingredient to expose my plates. New to the whole experience, the learning curve has been somewhat comical - from floundering around in the dark trying to cut the unexposed plates with tin snips to being covered in ink while trying to wrestle with the press. I learned a lot that first day - obviously succeeding greatly at making a big mess.
