Large etching finished

Well I’ve finished the etching that I wanted to use for the perspective book but I think I managed to get grease on some areas of the plate while I was working on the tones so it hasn't bitten evenly in a couple of places. Having proofed it and worked into the more obvious blots and problems I'm still not sure about it.
I have another plate so I think I'll redo the image but this time I'll try a soft ground for the line etch just to see how the two compare. If I'm still not happy I can always revert to pen, watercolour and digital.

    Amazing. Can't see any uneven biting here in Oz!

      Thanks. Actually I think on closer examinaton of the plate and the print that most of the problems are down to bad wiping

    I agree with Fiona. If the faults are obvious I cannot see them. It looks fabulous. What a lot of work already so please don't abandon it!

      Thanks. I think I need to consider the covers next, then decide what to do
