collagraphs

The following prints (collagraphs) were made by a collagraphic plate I made a few years ago. I've been meaning to make more prints from it and finally gave myself the time to do so Saturday. I'm very pleased with the results.


This is the original design on which I based my collagraphic plate.



This is the well-used plate itself. The original design is raised on the mat board, creating, in a sense, a giant stamp. Specifically, it measures 5" x 5".

Below are some of the results of applying different and overlapping colors to the collagraphic plate and transferring to a piece of mat board:

very nice results-----patterns and
color arrangements seem harmonious
I presume it is similar to a ink
stamp though the colors and stamp
motion make for individual presentations ?
