Making a New Collograph Plate.

 Whilst the previous plate worked reasonably well, I felt that I needed to make another one with more varied vegetation and more fine textures. Using the same basic idea of water, rocks and plants I started off with pieces of thin bark of various types.

                      Then I used pressed weed seed heads, lichen, sawdust and a little sand.

               With all the edges trimmed, it was time to coat the plate in several layers of shellac.
