I like this very much Gudrun, I enjoy doing collagraphs. I use a coat of shellac over the plate, it lasts a little longer.

Thanks Fiona. Glad you like it. I use French polish to seal the paper. Do you still have your press?

Hi Gudrun, yes I’ve still got my press. Looking forward to the winter months so I can use it more. I’ve done a few monoprints during the summer but not as many as I would like.

I like this aspect of it as I am not looking to mass produce prints, but seek to create unique art. The prints differ in their colours and the application of colours. The image was inspired and influenced by the choreographer Wayne McGregor.
