Here is the plate I am working on right now.
How to Steps to Make a Similar Plate:
Take a metal plate
File of the edges
Spray painted it
Put into acid
Let drops of acid set on the top
Covered it in asphalt
Draw the design up then traced it onto the plate
Use a needle and etch design into the asphalt
Put it back in the acid
Wash it with kerosene
Print it once but if not dark enough
Re asphalt it
Varnish the edges
Re etch
Back in the acid
Spray paint
Acid
Kerosene
Ink
Repeat Steps as Necessary
Then finally got the desired print
