Rather than use my circular collagraph plates as they were intended to be used, for printing with a press, I tried using a couple of them as stamps on my gelatine plate. I really like this one where the plate has failed to print in one area.
Using the same plate, but a much more regular result. As I intend printing over these, it really is only a starting point.
With the addition of some previously carved rubber stamps. Now this does have potential! Unfortunately my commercial Geli plate is very badly pitted and has a lot of irregularities, and I'm not sure that my current home made one is any better. They actually do produce very different results too, even when pristine.
