Love your prints... thank you for sharing :) Am wondering if the card surface is similar to that of foam core board or is less smooth? I have plenty fcb, and looking at the printing/collagraph plates on Amazon they seem fairly pricey and only available it seems as a US import which I'd rather avoid. Be good to know if I can use what I've got. Thanks

You're welcome. Play around with what you have. The joy of collagraph is using recycled stuff and finding new textures and techniques

Do you need a printing press to get a decent print or is it possible to burnish with the back of a spoon?

[@bristolprintroom3344]

Ideally yes, although do try with a spoon you'll get a different but interesting result

try a pasta machine, or certain kinds of tortilla makers, like a cast iron one.
