This is my first drypoint etching that I had done in a while. The plate is 9"x24" and it took me a few months to work through this bad boy. A drypoint, in case you don't know, is a drawing on a metal plate with a metal tool. I started working on this months ago, and thought I could have it finished fairly quickly. Oh...how silly I was. After doing the first small rows of feathers I realized that if I continued at that pace I would have severe arthritis. I had to slow it down and eventually took a month off to give my hand and arm a break. But I endured, and am so glad I did. I truely love this print.
