Leading up to my visit today Sunday December 7th, 2025 with my pursuit to start etching once again and planning to do it at the new Arlington Arts Center once called the Lee Arts Center in northern Virginia, and looking at both my old etched zinc and copper plates as well as my etching and printing materials! What a gas, what a delightful moment all of these 5:47pm as I start to download my videos I recently made,

A great tfip down Memory Lane , getting teady in my mind and idy to etch once again, hiw to start?! I already have ideas! Anthony TONY Quinn My old shiny and loved metal red bix for my etching tools ! Also two of my etchingsI made in Paris, both oruginals obe-of-a-kind

And one of my smallest etched zinc plates a naked figure lating on a cross being carries dragged lifted Etching on a copper plate by Pedro from Mexico tgat i got somehow?!?! Etching of the head of a beggar woman that I made in Paris, France in 1979 on a zinc plate small size , that of a wine label size! Small but powerful. Mis en bouteille dans nos caves French wine cork I used to keep tge sharp end of my etching tool from hurting anyone when not in use. Another video I made of the wine label sizecetching of tge head of a beggar woman that I drew in the Trocadero metro in Paris, France , and - in the years 1978-80 I believe I made this drawing tgat became an etching from memory , closing my eyes and imagining her face The French champagne cork covering the sharp tip of my etching tool Above using the back of a copper plate snall wine label size to scratch and carve figures to made a print from later! My red box with more etching goodies I rediscovered! And the beat of discoveries from myvetching dhinybred box keeps on giving and delighting and I cheated orinting some times with oils and notvetching ink as I dud nitvakways gave the eyching ink sobInused what I had a d I made bew discoveries , gere a tube of deep cadmium green shiny oils! More to come! And the fun begins all over again! Tony
