This was the hardest etching I've ever done. Had to draw it on then etch it. My eyes kept trying to focus on my reflection and reflections of things moving around me. This was the last etching I will probably ever do. The Dremel vibrations hurt my hand and eyes aren't as good as they used to be.

Very nice work. It is a shame you probably won’t do more. You ever think about a white drape behind you to block the reflected background and using a diamond hand stylus? Probably need a big rubber grip on the stylus to ease your hand from cramping.

Thank you. I keep staring at my work but then eyes will focus on my eyes. Staring into a mirror while trying to draw between the reflection is difficult. Hand stylus cramps my hand as well. Even peeling potato's hurts. 😂 I do appreciate your kind words and suggestions though. Thank you very much.
