I'm working on a new etching inspired by my time here by the Clarence River.   My female protagonist will be swinging across a water background.  This is a work in progress, 2 plates incorporating sugarlift for texture, aquatint for those lovely velvety tones and burnishing which helps give highlights.  Keep the fingers crossed for me, as its close to finished.  Working on completing the water highlights and the next step will be sorting out the colours.  I'm thinking of keeping it rather moody and more silvery moon light.  So far it has another world effect.
