this is my least favourite print. originally i had 5 prints but felt 6 would give me a even number of prints and therefore look better as a set. i also wanted to create a design where i could include the pocket watch as i thought this would be a effective etch as i would be able to use more detail with my design there creating a more interesting intricate etch, showing more skill, taking advantage of the techniques possibilities. however i feel i have let this print down with the second object, because it is a simpler shape and does not hold detail in its design, the 2 images clash rather than flow. also i used cross hatch to fill in the block colour on the toy, i think this looks very messy/grainy and also the colours i have used on these parts (purple and turquoise) are too dark to make start out against the black.
