This is lovely.
And drypoint (or intaglio) is just a name for this specific kind of etching (ie. no acid used, but it is still a type of etching)

Hiya! This is a drypoint, there is a category for that.
Traditional Printing (down near the bottom) > Dry Point

Actually on second thoughts it's probably closer to a monoprint. Traditional Printing > Monotype

Oh and as it is not an etching you might want to change the title! Etching is biting metal plates with acid.

Sorry I posted so many things in a row! heh, it's uploaded to our club now.
A dry point is what you did, where you scratch into a a sheet of plastic or metal or anything really, ink it up, then take away the ink from the surface but leave it in the cracks. It is a type of intaglio print.
A monotype is when you take a sheet of plastic or metal or whatever and cover it with ink, drawing or painting the ink on, or rolling it on and then removing some with a cloth or scratchy tool. They're called monotypes because you never get two the same.
A monoprint is a combination of the two, where you scratch a drawing into your plate, and then cover it with ink and make designs or something in that ink, so that the ink is going to be different every time you print it, but the drawing itself will always be the same.
Hope that made sense!

I remember doing these sorts of things in year 8 art, still got mine somewhere. Agreed they were fun. I think I spent about 3 weeks just doing the cutting of mine! :-P
