This is my Drypoint experiment.  I got to this stage and then fell Ill with the flue, I have Asthma winch is keeping me from progressing further with this drypoint print. 

I created this work from my outcomes without text and printed them in A3

 I may not be well enough by Tuesday to experiment with this technique, i have made the plate so  if not I will try it after xmas it is not vital to my Project just an extension to my two Digital Prints which are my Final outcome.    I electronically sent my two Digital files(large files an Hour to transfer...Learning curve) to Bob my Framer who has printed them on Luster Paper .They will be mounted and Framed by www.first4frames.com
I found the work interesting but very hard on my arm.  This type of work is created by scratching into a surface like Perspex. This is a very good material to get the feel of Plate Printing as no acid baths are needed such as in Copper Plate.  It is also reasonably priced and available in Homebase greenhouse suppliers.
