As for recreating it, I think it may be possible to use a shiny black acrylic paint instead of the toxic asphaltum, but the copper underneath is quite expensive these days! But, if you're offering to fund the project, I'm game! Kyra: Jersey Sarcasm, huh? Didn't Benjamin Franklin say that that is the lowest form of humor? Ruvik: Thanks for the kind words!

I'm excited to see the new mediums your working with. I agree with Kyra, the plate alone is beautiful. Is there a way to recreate that look without being toxic?

And yes, it is pretty much a negative of the printed version, the black parts on the copper becoming the white spaces in the print and vice versa.

Would you get a similar effect if you used a copper colored ink? Or is that the final image more a negative version of the copper one?
