More Tools More Marks: Where to buy

Don't feel limited by what the local art store sells with regards to drawing tools for etching. I encourage each of you to find more online (see links below) or make your own. Take a look at the various shapes and sizes of needles, roulettes and wire brushes in the photo below. Remember all you need to do is to scratch the ground off the plate, the acid does the rest.
