The theme was the Madonna , the virgin Guadalupe, Yemaya, Mother Mary, Marian subjects, motherhood, nurturing and a wide range of printing techniques were accepted. The paper size was to be 8"x 11" and the image presented could be up to that size or within. All prints were to be on archival paper.

The addition of colour to this Shell etching by way of a second colour plate has enhanced the image.
Still experimenting, however.
I used a clear Perspex sheet the same size as the etched copper plate for the application of the colour.
I rolled, reduced colour water based Akua ink onto the plastic plate and placed it over the etched shell plate. Because I could see through the reduced colour on the plate, I wiped away the ink,  in parts... hence the white areas. That created my colour plate to print first.
Using my registration on the press, I printed the colour plate on dampened paper.
I then inked up the copper etched shell with oil based black ink.
Using the same registration, I printed the black by placing the already printed yellow brown printed paper on top of the face up inked copper shell etched plate.
I think the white sections are too regular so I hope to remedy that if I decide to produce a small edition of this image.

Wiping back will have to be consistent with an edition of course

The same procedure was used  with this etched image
