A bit of a nightmare!

I've made a bit of a mess of the aluminium plate - it's a while since I've worked on anything but perspex but the aluminium is so much softer and I've scoured too deep lines with the roulette.It might work for me if I try inking the plate with much diluted ink. So I've been trying again using a collagraph plate - originally it was simply meant to provide background with no detail but somehow it evolved!

Camera Club in the evening - back late so not blip yesterday.
