How to make a simple collagraph (part two)

Wow I should rename this blog post- 'How to combine art and a workout!'...

Once the image is dry the next stage is to add the colours that you want. Be prepared to use a lot of etching ink as the rough surface literally drinks it! Then follows your workout.. 1 and 2 and ...wiping the matrix clean.
I added further ink (red and gold) 'on top' with a roller as you would when printing in relief.
The matrix inked and ready to print.


And here he is.... I won't be able to print another like him so he is unique!
