| Dan--
| You asked whether it is necessary to be able to draw to make
| cliche verre prints. The first people to use the technique were
| indeed artists (Corot, Millet, Delacroix, etc.). The method they used
| (scratching lines through an opaque covering) and the type of pictures
| they were producing does require some drawing facility. However,
| there are other ways to produce cliche verre prints--even using Karo
| syrup.
| If you want something more traditional but don't feel able to
| draw what you want, you can start with the clear glass. By placing
| it over a drawing, photograph, etc. you can have a model to copy (or
| modify). By using lines or paint tones (or a combination) you can
| achieve different effects.
| There are so many different possibilities to explore with this
| technique that insecurity over your drawing ability should't hold
| you back.

Could be also interesting to schratch a plexiglass following the guiding lines
of a (classical) printing and the reprint it. I've tried, not bad at all...
As U consider it as experimentation!
