Make Tiny Gelatin Plate Prints
Today I made a gelatin print with a twisted fern and a spoked wheel and the lovely richly pigmented Daniel Smith Water Soluble block printing inks. My thoughts on this monotype print :
- I like the richness of the dark blue ink
- I like the twisted shape created by the less than perfect fern
- I like the contrast of the “geometric” line and the organic fern
- I think the uneven division of space works to keep this simple print interesting.
Come make some tiny gelatin plate prints with me.
Check out the printmaking workshop schedule and pick a date that fits your life and come to my studio and play for the day.
This is my second tiny gelatin plate print that I am sharing with the ICAD group. The challenge is open to everyone who would like to make a bit of art every day for the next 61 days.
I am pledging to make 61 tiny gelatin plate prints and share them with you and the gang. There is a flickr group and a Facebook Page. Tammy of Daisy Yellow is the instigator and is providing prompts and other encouragement.
