Well, it's not really new, but I haven't posted it on here until now. These are a couple of etchings I started last winter, based on drawings of hoarfrost crystals and some research into the way they form. I etched the line drawing onto a copper plate and printed that on warm white Stonehenge paper. I then printed a rainbow roll of Akua inks in a blend of colours inspired by the colours of shadows on snow. This was printed on tissue paper. I then cut these up into tiny 'feathers' to be stuck onto the etchings later.
I intended on a set of three but then decided on just two. To me, these pieces are themselves finished, but also a starting point for further work.
