Etchings

This is Alexander Egorovich Vetrov.  He is an amazing artist.  He etches pictures on metal and then prints them.  Thanks to Dave and Tiffany Jeppsen for introducing us to his art.  Chris was able to meet him and he invited us over to see how it is all done.  It was super cool!  He let us all etch a picture and then we printed it.



These are the tools you use to scratch the metal.

First we sketch what we want to draw



Then we etch it






Then we rub it with ink

Then send it through the press machine



Viola!



 
We ran it a second time but this time with some colored ink





Black and white and the other one with color
This was my absolute favorite picture of his!  I am saving all my rubles so I can buy it!
