This is a print medium I learned in school where you etch zinc plates with acid. Not sure why I took the class, but it ended up being interesting, and I made some 'peculiar' pieces. Still have some of the plates, though they are probably bent by now and no long good for printing.

WOW! That's amazing! I love the prints. Was the process time consuming? Seems like it would be, especially on the last 2, w/ so much detail. Thank you for sharing!

Palmbob, seems like there's not a medium that you haven't at least tried. these are great! I really like the Egyptian-themed one. you even put an interesting twist on the presses!

Palmbob, you really do perspective and dimensions well.
And I love your sense of humor too.

Wonderful images. Thanks for sharing.

OK< I thought I should start paying compliments. I've been lurking soooo long, I hope no one will feel left out, if I miss them.
You seem to have done everything bob! Very eye catching, and all of them ask, what's in the next room? The zinc etching had to be exciting to do.
