Found something interesting last night (on an Antique Roadshow episode). Someone was having appraised some drypoint works. Never heard of this before. They were beautiful. Wiki describes it as "Drypoint is a printmaking technique of the intaglio family, in which an image is incised into a plate (or "matrix") with a hard-pointed "needle" of sharp metal or diamond point. Traditionally the plate was copper, but now acetate, zinc, or plexiglas are also commonly used".

Angie, isn't this essentially, or at least similar, to what you've been doing?

And I realize this involves making a print from the metal plate, just though it was right up your alley. Meant to ask if you've ever done this.

I love how observant you are Jmur. Drypoint and engraving are often combined when making prints. I don't use a stylis type tools tho, I use a rotary diamond tip. Drypoint creates a burr along side the incised line work that raises up from the depression made. While engraving removes the metal to create the depression on the surface of the metal. Drypoint prints are kinda limited in how many can be made cuz they wear down the raised burr faster from the pressure of the process. With the rotary diamond point I'm removing the metal where I make my lines. You could still make a print off of it tho, I never tried it

GREAT explanation of it, thank you! I find that fascinating, the raised burr being used to make the print. Have to look for more examples.

It is fanscinating when you watch the process. I admire those gifted people that can actually produce such gorgeous works of art frum it also. It's not that easy to do
