I have been experimenting with bring the shapes that I have been playing around with my sketchbook onto my plates. The patterns are from the early prints that I experimented with repeating patterns; I kept it simple so I could then further develop it when I figure out what works and what doesn't. I Have created a different tones in the ink by using different textures, for example the really dark areas I have used sand because it absorbs more ink. I really think that this method works well and I will be really important to reuse the plates changing the colours and the amount of ink that is applied to the surface. The plate where I have shredded the paper I really like because it ties in so well with my project and there so many ways that I can develop it.
