I was surprised at the quality of the monoprints I did above. I struck a good balance of intentional line work and the accidental nature of the process with the first head on the left. The others were less successful as detail/linework began to get fuzzy and lost, but it definitely opened up my eyes to the potential of monoprint.
Although I love etching, I was quite disappointed by how it turned out when I tried it. Considering the amount of time it takes to produce one etching I was not satisfied with how they came out. The reason could be that my design with the lines was too complex to do as a taster etching, I may not have scratched into the copper deep enough, or I may not have left the copper plate in the acid for long enough.
At any rate I will either try again with a simpler design, or I will begin to consider how I can fall back on screen printing.
