Drypoint Print!

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him."

My very first drypoint print! :D Being a student at the end of their loan for the term, I'd mentioned to my tutor I couldn't afford new metal to print from so I was given an offcut from an old metal sheet which I'm really glad I was~ the result was so much more interesting as you can see, the metal picked up ink in all the scratches and marks that were already there to create a really nice print (in my opinion) :3

It was a really interesting process, you have to scratch into the metal (aluminium) the image you want to be printed so the lines and marks you made became the print~ although I forgot the image would be flipped around which is why it might look a little reflective. I'm looking forward to creating some more after the Easter Holidays~
