They look best when the colors start mixing and " ghost" colors from the previous station add to the new. I like to print them on black paper.AmyinArtnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3501308597522720818.post-53828028026973021972012-02-16T16:47:31.084-06:002012-02-16T16:47:31.084-06:00I have only done a collograph lesson once, but a r...I have only done a collograph lesson once, but a really inexpensive way to make them is out of file cabinet manila folders.

I, too, have never done this type of printmaking but now that I've read all of these comments, I'm gonna try it!

I had a bunch of old books in the art room, and I used to have them ink, put the paper on top, sandwich it in the book and sit on it, to get a better press. I also have them rub a thin layer of glue over the whole plate when they are done building it-it makes for smoother inking, and less absorbing of ink into the printing plate. Glue line prints are always fun too!Mrs. Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09988504926515130383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3501308597522720818.post-81056069232263350132012-01-31T12:26:52.306-06:002012-01-31T12:26:52.306-06:00matt board scraps and fun foam is the trick to a g...matt board scraps and fun foam is the trick to a good collograph.

I really like using craft foam sheets (easy to cut and a good texture for printing) and hole punchers are a great way to add more interest to your shapes - imagine a starfish with lots of holes punched out - makes a nice texture. Yarn also looks really good if glued well.Hope Hunter Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15815277347271501092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3501308597522720818.post-41288595484392856542012-01-31T11:25:02.640-06:002012-01-31T11:25:02.640-06:00Rina, I did not do a crayon rubbing...are you supp...Rina, I did not do a crayon rubbing...are you suppose to?
