All etchings are hand inked and pulled by me using traditional printmaking techniques.
Etching
The term etching can cover a variety of techniques, but usually refers to the corrosion of a metal plate using acid to produce a line. My etchings follow a very traditional method.
Preparing the plates.
I clean my copper plate using ammonia and whiting to remove all the grease, i then paint sugar lift on to each plate to create the images i want to etch. A liquid varnish is then poured over the design and once that has set, i rub away the sugar lift solution. I am then left with the line i have created with the sugar lift. I am then ready to aquatint my plate.
Aquatint.
Here i am using the aquatint to create my etching. I apply a fine dust called rosin made traditionally from pine resin to each plate. A cloud of resin is created in a large box using a paddle, then as the fine dust falls I put in my plates. Like snow, the resin settles on to the copper and without disturbing the dust the plates are removed from the box. Using a blow torch to heat the under side of the metal, the resin is melted onto each plate. When the plates are placed in the acid bath, the unprotected copper is eaten away, leaving the tiny protected dots of the aquatint untouched. The longer the plate is left in the acid, the darker the tint.
Taking the print.
I then work ink into the grooves left on the plates by the etching process. I ink my plate and then with a muslin cloth the excess ink is wiped off, leaving the ink only in the grooves. Placing the inked copper plate face up on the printing press, pre dampened paper is carefully laid on top then layers of felt. This sandwich is then forced between two steel rollers. The paper is pushed in to the grooves at such a force it pulls out all the ink. There is nothing better than revealing the finished print.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me, i'd love to hear from you.
I have sold my work to clients in America, Canada, Australia and throughout Europe.

Reviews for this item
I’ve had my eye on this etching for such a long time & eventually decided to treat myself & I’m so glad I did!! 😍 It’s such a beautiful, striking piece of art & Ella was so kind and helpful when I approached her & couldn’t have done any more for me. It arrived very carefully packaged and incredibly quickly - I can’t fault a thing. Ella you’re a fabulous artist and seller & I can’t wait to shop with you again. X

Response from ella carty
Thank you for taking the time to leave a glowing review!
Ella, in your note you wrote that you hope I like it; I don't like it -- I love it!!! Art is subjective and your work speaks to my heart. You are so very talented! I hope to add many more pieces of your work to my collection. I couldn't be more delighted. Thank you!
