Printing Collagraphs

Over the past couple of weeks I've been going into university to print my pre-made collagraphs.  (I find it better to work at home where I have all my materials than bring them all into university and then make the collagraphs). 

Here's some of the results:

I started to look at these points and produced a new collagraph plate using my existing photographs for embedding this week:

It's currently drying.
