Aquatint on paper.  For my final Print Media 1 project finished around March of 2013 (a year ago, whoops, look at late little me), where we could choose any kind of printing method we learned (Linocut, Woodcut, or Etching). I chose, of course, the most painful and long winded and hazardous method.  Two 9x12" copper plates weigh a tonne, did you know that? I was extremely excited to learn an "old master" medium, so I was all gung-ho to do it again for the final... X_X silly little me.

I've dealt with Persephone/Kore like three times now in my projects alone.   In this case, Persephone (the red plate) came first, and Kore (the green) came second, but when you print, the image becomes reversed.  

Three final editions were made for this print, with numerous testing pieces before and after in grayscale, as well as in their green/red.  The green/red is mixed, so I will never be able to achieve this colour again, even if I do reprint the plates.  Yay, rarity!
