Brooding rooks

More rooks but this time I've changed the process a little and also used the carborundum and p.v.a. mix more as a drawing tool. Each print is different depending on the way the ink has been removed from the plate and the range is quite surprising.


The first print was quite minimal in terms of the ink  that was picked up as the block went through the press

 
The following prints varied and you can see more tonal difference due to the texture of the surface and the amount of ink that has remained on the different surfaces of the plate


I particularly liked this print which is much darker and I think  the texture of the feathers around the neck works well.

Collographs are fascinating things, the possibilities are endless!!
