I just love this little engraving by William Blake.
I want! I want! is one of 18 tiny engravings, measuring 6cm x 5cm, that document the different stages of man's life, published together as For Children: The Gates of Paradise in 1793.

I have been struggling with a dry point this week. Sadly my rook ended up looking more like a chicken, then a pigeon.. hopefully I can rescue it.

What a fabulous print studio. You must be in heaven! And your walk to and from is just gorgeous. Good for you!
To be honest, I am! I love being a student and being amongst other students all studying together and discussing... such a change from being alone in a studio!
I always enjoy your posts, Lynn.
Your eye for beauty with the camera...these shots are gorgeous of the morning and afternoon...but the intellect is usually involved too. I enjoyed seeing your student environment and being reminded about Blake's engravings.
Thank you for the time spent.
Thank you so much Julie, what lovely words.
Beautiful photos, Lynne! What a joy it must be to walk to classes each day. Glad to hear you are enjoying your studies.
Thanks Rozanne. I hope you are doing well!
"across Jesus Green" -- delightful title for a book or poem! Thank you for sharing your photos and the processes you're learning -- your work is beautiful.
So many lovely names in Cambridge, Midsummer Common, Parker's Piece, Christ's Pieces, Queen's Green to name a few! Thank you for you generous comments.
