This is the first print from the most recent collagraph plate. The ink hasn't penetrated into all the nooks and crannies yet, but it's a reasonable first effort.
This is the second print with a green background instead of blue and a brighter yellow on the flowers. The ink is still patchy on the thickest feathers and the ink on the pots is a bit indefinite.
This was supposed to have red flowers, but they turned out pink for some reason!
This is the one that I think has the most potential and I'm happier with the more orange highlights and the blue-green of the background. I bit of water colour paint might be in order to improve this print.
It takes such a long while to ink each colourway, that it took over 3 hours to do these 4 versions.
