giraffe play
left to right, screen print as plate, screen print and gelatin print on tissue
Well, I made some gelatin yesterday and played with it today. I cracked the gelatin as I tried to get it out of the pan. (go with the flow – linda) I decided to print on tissue paper and then I can collage the prints into some mixed media pieces that I am working on. It did not take long before I realized why I love gelatin printing. It’s all in the details!!! I don’t know if this will make sense to you but – the print on the right was created by placing the screen print on the left on the gelatin plate. And all with just hand pressure.

paper stencil and metal stencil as “stamp”
This image does not capture the excitement felt when I stamped into the ink with the hammered metal plate. I love the detail. Oh I am repeating myself.

fresh gelatin ready for printing!
Both prints are pretty amazing but that circular metal plate image is incredible.
Hope you weathered the storm without much trouble, was thinking of you as I watched the weather map this weekend.
I just watched your videos again before I read this latest post. I think your excitement has crossed over the ocean and into my studio! Your prints always seem so joyful. I LOVE the hammered metal plate image. What’s next?
Oh. I was trying to purchase your book and it says there are none available. Are you printing more?
thanks for sharing the gelatin printing excitement I will order some more copies of the book. thanks for reminding me.
Can you let me know when they are available again so I can purchase one. Thanks Linda.
Carole- will do thanks
