Treasures for Gelatin Plate Printing!

While walking the dog around our local streets I always keep an eye out for bits and pieces on the footpath. This area is quite an old part of Melbourne and as such, many of the old houses are being demolished to make way for modern mansions. Because of that, there seem to be quite a few bits of hardware lying around just waiting to be picked up. The print above also includes stamped images of various potato mashers bought from charity shops!
This print above only used found items, including a piece of wood that was left behind when the council workers cut up and removed a lovely old Plane tree. I expect the people in the new mansion didn't want to be bothered with the mountains of huge leaves every Autumn.
This one above used some found items plus a few spheres that I made on cardboard with crumpled paper.
Some of the miscellaneous items that I have found on my walks, also including a slice of  the inner cardboard of a toilet roll squashed into an oval shape. (The piece of cut timber is to the left of the large reel)
       Another print over the top of an old one with various bits and piece from the collection used.
