Weeds!

A local unkempt nature strip provided a wealth of weeds going to seed, so I harvested some that looked promising and pressed them good and flat. Later I glued them to a collagraph plate, sealed them with shellac and let them really dry well. You might have seen the result that I posted a couple of days ago. They made quite good printing plates, but this one I decided to paint to really show up the seed heads, which were actually green in real life, but I painted orange to provide more contrast.
