Making the block

Eventually this will be an accordion fold book (fingers crossed).


It’s a combination of cutting into the plate and applying a heavy texture gel and a plaster/PVA/water mix. The red speckles have come off the sequin waste I’m using to make a bubble texture, I’m hoping the foil won’t print.


It needs a couple of days to dry out thoroughly then a few layers of shellac before I print it.

    1. I'm hoping that it looks similar to the test piece but I find it difficult to predict with collagraph
