Collagraph

Print of a very angry small girl, apparently. Reading. In hell.

Collagraph is fun but quite frustrating. Lots of waiting around for shellac and carborundum and pva glue to dry. On the other hand, it’s cheap and cheerful to play with, so you can just start another project while waiting for one to dry, so I now have several plates on the go.

Inking up is in theory the same as with drypoint, but I find wiping the shellac’d mountboard much harder than smooth aluminium.
