One color Gelatin Plate Monotype prints

I have ordered a roll of Tyvek® from Material Concepts. I really love how durable the stencils are when they are cut from Tyvek®. I never thought that I would have the patience for cutting intricate stencils.

But as you can tell by this wall of prints I have been cutting a lot of stencils.

Today I printed some simple one color cards with the houses and trees on the hill stencil.

I used neutral tone card stock and cyan speedball printmasters water based ink. I like how the holes in my gelatin plate created white spots in the print.
