Pulling a print from the engraving “Alice and Her Sister”.

Pulling one of the first prints of my "Alice and her Sister" engraving (23”X18.5”) with ball-bearing baren and spoon. It takes some time to produce a crisp print with rich blacks, but it is a completely controlled process that does not require an etching press or other heavy, expensive equipment.

wow, every area on this has a unique texture and contrast going on

Thank you!

This is stunning, so crisp and easy to read. Would love to know if you have a preferred ink and paper. I'm new to printmaking and am a lifetime away from your calibre. Your framing is also on point 👏

The blacks in this are so deliciously rich! I always struggle with consistency in solid areas when hand rubbing a print of this size. Brava.

Right, there is a big problem to keep thin lines thin, but feed black areas with enough ink to get real black.
