Original Drypoint Etching - Fairywren Flight

This was a bit of a collaboration with my chickens! After I scratched the female fairywren image into the large aluminium plate I left it in their chicken coop for a few days so they would walk all over it and create some interesting lines for the background. To be honest they were a bit slack with their side of the collab, a bit too tentative with their mark making, so I finished off the job myself, but I do like the results! It depicts a female superb fairywren in the moment of taking off. The colours are closer to the first two photos, the last few are taken in the warm light of golden hour as the sun was beaming its last for this gorgeous early Autumn day. This is an original dry point etching, inked up by hand and pulled through my printing press on Hahnemulhe cotton rag paper. This etching is sold unframed and unmatted. Please note, the edition number you will receive will not necessarily be the one pictured. It will arrive loosely rolled in a postal tube with protective tissue paper.
