Well, this past July a friend flew my gf and I out to Anchorage for her wedding. That was obviously incredibly nice, so... I decided I'd make a map as a gift. I just got inspiration for this and hopefully it will be done in time to enter for this challenge.

I will be doing an etching on copper with watercolor and calligraphy added to the print. The etching style is what I've been going for all along, but haven't had the right tools. I recently had the opportunity to take a printmaking class and am excited to get that 15-16th century look! There is not a whole lot to show now except some prep work I am going to copy to the plate. Hopefully there will be progress every week. The class just began, but haven't gotten too far yet. For the first WIP, imagine a 8x10 copper plate with nothing on it .
