Stepping Out #1 (Hand-Pulled Collagraph of Baby Stilt)

I started this plate long ago and just finally got to it. I plan to do this in color, but really liked the way the black and white turned out. Color version to come one of these days.
Image size: 7.25" x 9.5". Paper size: 9.5" x 11.5".
Printed on arches cover white paper.

Stilt #4 (Print, Fine Art, Collagraph of Water Bird)

There was something about the simplicity of this guy that got my attention.  When I was cutting the bird out of the background I thought I would use the texture that I would normally discard and create an abstract version (which you can see in the following post).  Anyway I don't know that my abstract version was particularly successful, but I did learn some things.  The image size of this collagraph measures 15" x 7".

Stilt on Circles #3 (Print, Fine Art, Collagraph) fourth stage

I printed another round of yellow ink to subdue the background somewhat.  In the process it killed some of the vibrancy of the color too.  I may have to come back in with more color . . . not sure.
