Embossing

I prepared quite a large collagraph at home to use with the 160gm paper that I bought from Spectrum in Birmingham last week.   I spoke to Andy about how to produce this as an embossing and he recommended sealing it with French polish (which turns out to be mainly shellac).  I only did one coat as I was not going to be inking it up at this stage and left it to dry (it takes ages) for about a week.  Today I went into uni and with Steve Butt's help produced five very nice embossings.  These I will use in various ways - 1 as a simple embossing - 2 as a template on which to draw 3 paint 4 embellish etc.  This is my final week in the print room at university as I have alot to do at home getting ready for my trip to Australia on 1 December.
