very helpful tutorial and I love her accent! I haven't worked with collographs in a while, so this was a good reminder of the wonderful results you can achieve with it.

Really enjoyed this video. Very well produced and very clear information.

Very nicely done! It starts talking about kids so I was half expecting a "blue peter" moment!

Lynn - What are you using for the sealing "varnish" (I'm using MinWax clear acrylic from Home Depot). And have you found any plate that is thin/cheap but doesn't buckle? Matte board drives me crazy!

Also, pet peeve of mine...but notice that Lynn correctly titled her video "Collagraph" but the blog has changed it to "collograph" with an "o" (check Amazon for books on collagraphs - it's always with an "a"!).
