Collograph Plates - Day 2

This might not look much different to the stage I'd got to yesterday but I have moved it on with more detail along the bottom.  I've also created a background plate, though I'm a bit uncertain about how it will print and contribute to the whole.   I've just managed to spray a layer of varnish over the top of each plate so it's just possible that I might be able to do a test print tomorrow.  I was intending to try and get to Salford, to Hot-Bed Press, in the morning but I might stay home and print which will give me a bit more time to finish off the plates.  It will also save me four hours in travel time.
