Artwork description:

Crazy guinea hens, always up to no good, which makes them such dream pets if you like to laugh!

this is an aquatint etching, handprinted by me, the artist, with the best etching inks and on a really beautiful piece of creamy printmaking paper. An etching is a handmade print, from a copperplate made by the artist, to the inking up by the artist, inking has to be done for each and every print, every step of the process involves the artist, which is why etchings are known as Original Prints. If you would like to see a film with me making and printing an etching, have a look in the me at work section.

The beautiful velvety printmaking paper measures 20" x 11" (50cm x 28cm)
and the copperplate, the actual image, measures 14" x 6",(35 cm x 15 cm )

I sign, title and number each print.
This etching is printed in a limited edition of 50 prints, this means that once the edition is finished, I scratch the copperplate, ensuring that it can't be printed from again.
Please be aware I can't guarantee you get the number in the photo.

I ship your etching with many years experience in packing my art so it arrives safely, see my reviews.
Thanks for visiting my shop and welcome back,
Mariann
