Firefly


Another bug in the series. I "etched" a few places very subtly with diluted Drano. It must be done carefully but linoleum responds to this technique and depending on how deep you let the Drano etch, an aquatint look can be achieved. It is painted on with a brush and this is a technique to be done outside or with plenty of good ventilation, and with gloves.
I was trying to use as fine a line as I could to carve this piece. This block is 12" x 12".
