Discover mark making tools:
You can find a package of wide tooled combs at the dollar store and then you will have fun working into the ink on the gelatin plate. If you play and then you are not happy with the mark then, you can just brayer over it and start over.
Here I criss-crossed the lines, and rolled down a base color of gold. With just one tool it is possible to experiment for a whole day and still come up with new types of mark from the homemade gelatin plate.
