Vary the size of your marks – a design principle

A quick simple print pulled on the glycerin plate.  A shaped impression on the left and a detailed impression on the right.  I think the combination of big shape and delicate marks helps to create interest. Variety in the marks is the design principle that I tried to employ here. What do you think?
