Default Re: color engraving

Gail,

I developed this technique about 12 years ago after seeing so many dot engravings that looked good only under the right light and just the right angle.
I played around for a couple years and ended up rubbing the colors in with a q-tip. The engraving is the same as Fracassi and the Italian engravers are doing. Just zillions of dots. It is quite permanent as I coat it with a sealant,
I havent had one come back ro be recolored yet. Hope this helps.
