Rest for my arms !

My belated birthday present just came in the mail today : polished zinc plates ! Yay ! I won't have to polish those myself, double yay ! More creative time for me, less physical work for my arms, triple yay ! I love everything about etching, EXCEPT polishing. I never get it right, it eats up half (or more) of my art time, it's taxing on my arms, shoulders and neck, and holding a baby and entertaining a toddler at the same time is not that easy (doable, but really, I'd rather have one hand free to hold the toddler's book)
Typing made considerably harder by a cat who wants to HUGMUMMY!-PPURRPURRPURR... :)
