Aqua-tinting

My deadline is dawning and I lose 3 weeks due to Easter and the print room at uni being closed! Therefore I have been spending most of my time in the print room or preparing my pages for etching!
I am now structuring the drawings for my book and for the written side to it I have just brought an amazing typewriter for only £5! And am well on my way.
But my panic and delay is due to my new venture into the art of Aqua-tinting. In my late stages I have had to learn the wondrous (yet painfully slow) process. BUT it is worth it! I have only managed to print 3 etchings but all are repeated so I can choose and have back-up pages to go into the book.
Aqua-tinting is doing the opposite and more intricate way of etching, yet it means the outcome has more defined tones and over all looks powerfully effective in capturing the mood of my drawings. I hope you enjoy, comments would be appreciated :).
