Song Sparrow 1 (Collagraph of Bird)

I'm still experimenting with my process. I started out printing some

of the color.  Then I printed the black, followed by some hand coloring

and finally I printed a couple of layers of texture on the background.

The image size of this original hand-pulled, textured collograph 

of a song sparrow on teal background measures 

7.25" x 9.25" (18.4 cm x 23.5 cm).

Paper Size: 9.5" x 11.5" (24.1 cm x 29.2 cm)

Tree Sparrow (Art, Printmaking, Collagraph of Bird)

This is the second stage of the printing process.  I decided to try something new this time.  I printed some of the color first and then printed the black textures on top.  I think this lends itself well for this subject matter.  Don't know that I would like it with my still life work.  I have been experimenting with other ways of doing this so I will post those in the coming days.

Stage one - I just printed the color first.

This is the plate for the black part of the printing process.
