After pouring through the book, and buying another one the etchings of Anders Zorn, I couldn’t wait to buy a press and make some prints. So, I picked up the phone, called Takach Press in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and ordered an etching press.

When the truck arrived with the press, I handed the drivers home made citrus lime cake and sodas to thank them for transporting her safely. I can’t convey how excited I was. They moved the crates into my garage, ate their cake and left, and I got to work with a claw hammer to open up the separate parts of my new press.

Art Quote
I devoted free moments, particularly evenings, to etchings, both reproductions of paintings and directly from life. I attached little importance to this pursuit, but was entertained by the surprises inherent in this game of chance, that lines that I incised with a steel needle on a treated black copper plate became light red against a dark background, and when printed would be black on a white field, and reverse to boot; it was like playing blindman’s bluff, a game which delighted me then, and still delights me now. ~Anders Zorn
