collographs


Last week, Fionnuala sent us home with a 1-gallon Ziplock bag.  Inside: the stuff dreams are made of.



Our assignments was to create a collograph in preparation for our second makers' gathering to be held during the brunch hour at her house on Saturday, where we'd be experimenting with the art of printmaking.  After struggling with my typical desires to have everything "just so", I finally surrendered to the process and came up with something I was quite happy with.


After a brief tutorial on the printing press, we set to work mixing color and inking our plates.  




*Apologies for the dark photos--I'd temporarily misplaced my camera battery charger and was using an unfamiliar substitute :)
