Sketch book page with Brick pattern

Another little page from my ongoing sketch book - the one with a floral theme.  

But this time a little bit of collage.

It started with this print block. 

You may remember I had a pretty productive Sunday a few weeks ago. This very simple print block was one of the outcomes of that session. 

So, first up printing onto a blank page. In this case I used koh-i-noor inks from a palette - applying it to the block with a brush. 

Then a simple wash of pink/pale red.

I highlighted the bricks with a pen.

Then I added ivy leaves - snipped from a painted book page (one of the many books from my stock of charity shop book finds - chosen for their paper, sometime for their words and sometimes for their pictures). 

I use Hi- Tack glue - I find it does not make paper wrinkle. 

And finally flowers, also from a painted book page.
