Gelatin plate print

Today I matted a couple of pieces and dropped them off for review at the Newburyport Art Association Gift Shop – a new endeavor for me. I am not sure how old this piece of gelatin is but it is on it’s last days. I pick up the extra moisture with lots of sheets of newsprint and just print. The holes and lines and imperfections make the gelatin fun to work with. I have to experiment with usin line, shape and not much other texture to get a pleasing print.

Wow – I had to work on the farm today, then baby sit for the twins and not a chance to print. I am thinking of a way to use what I have and create a print while I baby sit. It could happen. I could print with paint, tea, charcoal. I am going to make it happen. I will create a print today, but it may not get posted today. I am off to find some printing materials.
