Renovation.

 I decided to try and renovate the 2 collograph plates that showed some promise, leaving the 3rd one as it is for the moment. Here above is the plate with the tree foliage that is too thick and textureless, and the grasses that are a bit sparse. I set to with a craft knife and whittled away at the bulky sphagnum moss foliage reducing it's profile quite a lot. I then glued on some extra seed heads and allowed it all to dry under weights.
            With this one I glued on some more tree leaf texture and set it under weights to dry too.
                    I hope that my renovations produce better prints than the original plates did!
