Etching, Engraving and Other Intaglio Printmaking TechniquesIntaglio printmaking involves engraving or incising a figure in stone or other hard material to obtain an impression from the subsurface design. In this thorough handbook, a noted printmaker and teacher offers complete up to date coverage of etching, engraving, drypoint, and other well known intaglio techniques, as well as such less familiar methods as tuilegraphs, collagraphs, and transfers.

Intaglio printmaking involves engraving or incising a figure in stone or other hard material to obtain an impression from the subsurface design. In this thorough handbook, a noted printmaker and teacher offers complete up-to-date coverage of etching, engraving, drypoint, and other well-known intaglio techniques, as well as such less-familiar methods as tuilegraphs, collagraphs, and transfers.
The first part of the book is devoted to a thorough introduction to materials and tools, printing equipment, papers, presses--even how to set up your workshop for maximum safety and efficiency. In Part Two, the author proceeds to a detailed discussion of etching techniques, including formulas for grounds and inks, aquatint, white ground, hard ground, soft ground, sugar lift, and acids.
Once familiar with basic etching techniques, the student is then given precise illustrated instructions in printing techniques, including basic printing, double intaglio printing (the author's own method); color printing and embossing, the viscosity method, and viscosity and aquatint. For each procedure, clear, step-by-step directions cover the process itself, materials and equipment required, and cleanup. An especially helpful "what went wrong" section at the end of each chapter diagnoses problems and offers solutions.
In Part 4 Ms. Leaf details other mediums and methods: drypoint, notable for its characteristic velvety dark lines; engraving, one of the earliest forms of expression known to man, dating back to prehistoric times; collagraphs, plates made in the same way as collages and then printed; and the Blake Transfer Method, adapted from a technique developed by the English artist and poet William Blake (1757-1827).
A final Appendix treats such ancillary topics as framing and matting prints, storage, agents, and where to sell and show your work. Enhanced with over 220 illustrations, including works by Rembrandt, Callot, D rer, Goya, and Brueghel, and a wealth of illustrative figures and photographs, this precise and detailed manual belongs at the side of any serious printmaker, novice, or ink-stained veteran.

The Best!
Color: Croissant
Out of all the stuffable, freezable dog treat toys I’ve tried over many years with several dogs, this one is #1! So easy to clean and freezing the little goodie cup that you insert in to the toy is so much easier than trying to stuff a small hole! The extra little grooves on the outside I fill with no sugar no salt peanut butter and my pup loves it! This is a heavier toy, so not sure how a small dog would do picking it up or carrying it around, but our 45 lb guy has no problem! Seems like it is very durable and just might last forever!

Bump on tongue
Color: Croissant, Color: Croissant
It’s a good idea but should be made with hard rubber and the back should not be able to come off. It gives off shards of plastic and gave my dog bumps on his tongue. I do love the idea and it keep my dog busy in the morning while I had my first cup of coffee and before everyone woke up.

She loves it
Color: Octopus
My dog loves this. I mixed plain yogurt and blueberries and froze the two cups. She went to town and it kept her busy for about 15 min. It’s easy to open compared to some of the other toys like this. Easy to clean too.
