I wanted to do a small version of my Alexander Percy picture, but waiting for my order of metal to arrive was a bit of a pain as I kept missing their delivery and they kept on delaying it further. When my metal finally arrived, the workshop had just sold out of their photoetching paper so I had to order a stock for myself online. This was really frustrating as a week after I had ordered, they sent an email to me saying that I had not checked which class of postage I required so they had not sent it out yet.
I thought that I would have received all my material before Reading Week but, because of order delays, it came on Monday.
This really held up my progress as I could not use those extra couple of days to etch a prototype of my drawing and see how it would come out with just one side of etching.
I have now started the etching process on Alexander Percy- and already have come across problems with the drawing. Where the lines have gone thinner than 4 pixels, the photo-etching paper was really difficult to remove in the tank and i had to go over all the lines with a scalpel.
