Printing/Matting

My element is Silver. Its atomic number is 47 and chemical symbol is Ag. Silver is one of the first metals to be discovered alongside gold and copper. It wasn't commonly used in the past other than being used as currency besides gold. Now it's more commonly used in jewelry and and in metallic sculptures. The image I chose to print is a sculpture. It's a upside down arc with a heart in the middle. There weren't a lot of unique things I could make with silver, drawing a coin would've been expected and boring so instead, I chose to do something pretty and unique. To make my print I had transfer my drawing to a plate by carving it with a dull pencil making an outline. Next time, I'd choose a different design because I think there could've been more designs that I could made with silver. The part I enjoyed the most was actually printing my design because it came out better than I thought it would. I'm very proud of it.
