After some troubles with my Hortoise plate,... particularly in the print stage I managed to cut my losses and understand where I went right and where I went wrong with the making of the print. While everything looked good on the copper itself, when the time came to print, things just didn't go well and unfortunately the results were nowhere near what I had envisioned them to be. That said, a learning experience all the same.
Following this however I didn't loose perspective of things... I made another stab at a large and ambitious mezzotint project and what I had grasped from the first time around I was able to apply to this latest print. Below I've posted a couple shots of the plate,... inked and non-inked. The print itself is drying so i couldn't put anything up online yet, but I'm quite happy with the results.
