Tried printing in green and red as well. Finished etching all the plates now so just need to print from them. I decided to do the final prints in blue as I think it has a calming effect on the images, which fits with the narrative. 

 I have been experimenting with the dry point technique this week, methods in applying the ink and trying to create an even layer on the plate.

An earlier attempt above, where the ink was a little more uneven and left a smeared effect on the final plate.

Ink has to be applied evenly in a thin coat on to the plate it has, then rubbed into the image using netted fabric. It has to be pushed into the lines of the etch, when the whole plate is covered excess ink is wiped away gently so as to not take any ink away from the etch, but not leave any unwanted smudges on the final print.

A very messy process, the ink has the be rubbed into the plate with a netted piece of fabric after being applied in a spread with a piece of card.
