wow really took me back to art school :) I loved printmaking but you reminded me of all the tedious steps I'd erased from my memory (they're worth it though)!
Thank you! I was trying to get that rose-gold kinda sheen that copper plates have - turns out that rose-gold is also just very nice to look at in itself!
Thank you for playing! I highly recommend printmaking, it can be frustrating, but so satisfying. (Also it’s hard not to feel a little like a mage when you’re coating plates in strange resins, wafting them over flames and dipping them in acids!)

Very imaginative use of Bitsy!
Thanks so much!
I love learning about things while playing my little computer games. Thanks for making and sharing!
Aw thank you!!

Thanks for playing! Yeah my gosh the process can be tedious, though. So many hours lost trying to polish plate to a mirror shine…
What a clever way to use bitsy ! It makes me want to learn and experiment this technique IRL x)
Thanks! Oh my gosh, I highly recommend it if you have access to any community-run studios, intaglio printmaking is a lot of fun!
This is amazing! I loved all of the texture variations to indicate what step we were on, and the color palette you used was perfect for this!

wow it's just a few pixels but the way you recreate the physicality of each step is so good that I feel I might be able to do it in real life now lol!
