Below are some collagraphs that I've been testing today, some are a little too inky so they have come out bit splodgy. I've been incorporating photos into the prints and I feel its kind of getting there, I like how you can see the raw material coming through and all the imperfections. I feel the most successful part of these prints are the textures, I think I can develop these textures and combine it with other pieces of work to add another dimension.
The row of houses was inspired by a story I am illustrating; the old woman who lived in a vinegar bottle, its was to compliment the story when the old woman lived in a row of houses, I wanted to show a sense of community and I came up with the idea of a long 6 seated bike (which hasn't printed that clearly) which is central of the image, I was also thinking about including maybe a post box/ telephone box/ red bus as they all signify this.
