Scratching, Scraping and Burnishing
Haven't got a clue if I'm doing this right but something seems to be happening. I suppose all will be revealed (or not) when I get to the proofing stage. It's very hard to tell if I've scraped back enough or not enough so it is impossible to even guess how it will print. I'm beginning to wish that I had picked a less ambitious subject for a first go though. Especially as this is something that I've already tried and failed to do as a linocut.

If you've got photoshop try scanning the image, then flip horizontal and then invert colours - thats what I do for etchings but perhaps you would not need to invert for a mezzotint!
