Collagraph-on a press

Floral 1..collagraph printed on a press has been my latest adventure.  This was basic collagraph created by cutting cardboard and arranging it on a cardboard plate, adding tissue, string, and using oils to print on a press.  I then collaged using a similar print.  Totally different.
