From drawing to collagraph, I always enjoy the development of an image. I am very relieved that this plate printed so reliably. I have had a few very public failures recently.
I am still working on the plate, adding glue to lighten the areas around the brush and putting
more highlights on the bird and moths. I now feel confident about making a start on the second
drawing. I am always surprised at what can be achieved with such simple DIY materials, PVA glue, poly filla, grey board and carborundum. The secret ingredient that binds them all together? Textured wall paper of course!
This is just wonderful! The texture is fabulous. I recently returned to thinking about collagraphs and will need to look into new materials. Always fun to explore. Mary Ann
