Not Biscuits !

 Although these look like thin biscuits with various toppings, they are in fact small circular collagraph plates with different media used for texture.
 I had to use a compass cutter for the circles and as it is quite heavy cardboard, I had trouble getting the small cutter to cut right though. I also had to fill in the hole of compass point in some way. The top 2 plates are created with 'blended fibre' medium as is the lower right one.
 Here you can see the different textures, all made through various stencils using the different media. The top small plate uses moulding paste , top right crackle medium, bottom left is a medium called 'black lava' that has fine grit embedded in it and the lower right one is more crackle medium
         More 'black lava' on this one which I hope will produce a really interesting printed texture.
