Dry-point, Hugging the dog roses,

My first dry point in a long while. Not to happy with it as the lines could be better  but I'm trying to do fine lines on a material that blurs the line. I also found it very difficult to wipe maybe this was the new water based ink I was using instead of the oil based? I did about 10 prints. It was exhausting and I ached all over after. I don't think I would be able for a large edition. I can well see the benefit of sending a print to be printed by a professional print work shop. I'm just not able anymore. 
I printed these on my x-cut press, a4 in size, with the help of josie the parrot who happily threw and tore newspaper while also watching my progress from my shoulder.
