I wasn’t sure about collagraph as a technique. I am not a huge fan of collage. I’ve tried it but there are just too many lumps and bumps for my liking. I can appreciate the ideas and and I often admire the finished work, but it is not for me. So when I was introduced to the idea of creating a print by first creating a collage I was hesitant. But in art there is always a way to put your own slant on something. In my case I decided to use gesso as my (one and only) collage material. And so my sad little creature was created.

His little shirt was a chine colle addition (using a scrap of the ghost print from my efforts at least week’s class).

Hmm. I just need to carve out some time to do some more gesso-only collages and have some more fun with this technique.
