A dry point print is made by scratcing an image onto a copper plate using a carbide-tipped scribe, applying ink to the plate, heating it gently and then rubbing the ink off where you want the image to be light. Paper is placed on top of the plate and it is run through the press. The image may be rubbed out and a new image scratched onto the plate. Sometimes portions of the previous image may be retained for and/or show through the next image. I did five images for this series but will only post three: "Stone", "Ladybug" and "VW Beetle". I liked this process a lot.
