Propeller Etching Project

Propeller etching project
This is my first etching print & I'm fascinated with this technique!
The drawing was carved out in a metal plate covered in a special acid resistant layer.
I love doing this geometrical stuff while using a quite demanding way of printing. 
I'm sharing with you the final print, the design process and some closeups.

First sketch
In the beginning I wanted to keep this chaotic black background but later I decided to add some horizontal lines instead. 
Step by step construction
& final project
Shading phase, just before final acid exposure
(black layer is resistant to acid)
Thank you for viewing my project!
