Ready to print
Done!
Here's three of them. My share was 65, which took about 3 hours.
I can recommend a cockle shell as a great first engraving project; it was much easier than any the other engravings I'd tried before.

Printing an engraving
The Rain City Engravers are doing a group project this year, printing a calendar for 2011, with engravings done by various members. Marya and I are doing August. We each did an engraving; while hers requires several passes, mine was quite simple: a cockle shell. Here's the engraving (on a Resingrave block), locked up with the calendar (in magnesium), and inked.

This is such an excellent study in white line engraving! You have have really capured what is fundamental to the art. Now I really want to try a subject like this for myslf - I've never done an engraving as technically pure as this.
