hi DAlia , thanks
this is a print ,whose matrix is of tetra pack embossed with a metal plate already engraved .To get that texture I use diswashQuix before I put the resist varnish Then I put the plate into the acid-. The eyes, nose and mouth are made by drypoint.I used Caligo safe wash etching ink.Really this not mix media,but a print.In my print working I often do mix media, we call it mixtography, I use different print techniques and collage .I posted this work fast and now I realize that it doesn't match this place...bye....

hi Virginia, and welcome!
this looks FANTASTIC,
but I'd love to know a little about this (in English, please): how did u create that texture? (not the folds and the burned edges, but the rest of the random organic 'splotches')? and what kind of paint did u use? 
big thanks!

HERE ARE 2 LINKS to TWO of my youtube videos talking and demonstrating about this amazing product:

So once i have my image printed onto transparency film, I take my Ezscreen silk screen which has been coated in light sensitive emulsion (These sheets come pre-coated so they are ready to use). Place it onto a black board, then place the transparency image on top (this part needs to be done in a dark room with no direct sunlight). I take it outside and expose it for 1 minute and 40 seconds (but time varies depending on time of day and strength of sunlight). After i have exposed the image i place it into a tub of water for around 5 - 8 minutes. Then i rinse the screen out under fast running water until the unexposed area (the black) washes away. I then expose the screen to the sun for a further 20mins to completely harden the light sensitive emulsion.
And this is the completed screen ready for printing. I simply use an old credit card to spread the ink over the screen making sure i do one complete full stroke across the screen (holding the credit card at a 45 degree angle). I immediately wash the screen out under fast flowing water and pat dry. I use fabric screen printing ink which washes out in water (which makes the process easy).
I love this product, their website is http://ezscreenprint.com/ (for full instructions and details on how to purchase this awesome product).
