Drypoint Etching on Plexiglass Without a Press - Tutorial

In this video, I take you through the steps of Drypoint Etching on Plexiglass. No chemicals, no press.
Supply list:
Rubber Gloves
Plexiglass - repurposed from an old IKEA frame.
Your Image - either a drawing or photo.
An etching tool - can be any sharp object to scratch the plexiglass. I used a cork handled etching scribe in this demo. I've used a pottery tool in the past as well as an Exacto knife.
Black paper or cardboard - this is optional, but a helpful tool for seeing where you have etched.
Paper towels or old newspaper - used to keep your area clean, apply the ink, and remove the ink.
Intaglio Ink - for this demo, Caligo Safe Wash Relief Ink was used.
Inking Stump - DIY Instructions here: https://youtu.be/YvWOZYAZqxE
Pre-dampened heavy printmakers paper or watercolor paper (soak in water until needed).
Dry paper - waxed paper or newsprint.
Clean kitchen towel - to blot the wet paper prior to printing.
Large spoon - to hand press the print, and apply pressure to the paper to burnish where needed.

Thanks for watching.
