I have started working on a new plate, or rather, have resurrected an old one. A couple of years ago, I made some drawings of carved animal figureheads on historic Venetian boats at the Museo Storico Navale, and drypointed them on a piece of copper. But I never did anything else with it. Now, I have brought out the plate again and have some ideas about what to do with it. The star-like design is the center medallion of a some lace I found in MFW's house in L



ittle Rock.
