Temperatures are dropping here in New England, so I am inside playing with some monoprinted fabric.
I used some heavy duty Heat-N-bond to make a few bookmarks. I experimented with the process, trying to figure out the best way to get clean edges. I really like the blue one that I added a few french knots to.
I used a wool scrap and a strip of monoprinted fabric to make this coffee cup insulator. I think I will try this again with some bold fabric or maybe with fabric that has some text.
I found that I liked the parts that were just pieced abstracts, like the blue and yellow and the red and yellow bookmarks.
If you would like to explore monoprinting fabric with the glycerin and gelatin plate, then check out the details on the workshop page online printmaking workshop, Monoprinting Fabric.

Gelatin Printing on Fabric Loved it! 3 key approaches I have learned
- bubbles/imperfections in the gelatine plate can be a good thing – it does NOT have to be perfectly smooth,
- doing a brayer rubbings on a piece of fabric and
- finally being able to get a coordinated set of prints.
Thank you everyone in the class for your comments and adding to the learning process. Erin J. from Australia
