stack of prints on tissue paper
Go to the altered page and see how everyone else stack them up.  This was a fun challenge. Here’s another stack of tea bag papers.

If you would like to explore printing on alternative papers, then check out the next session of Make Monotypes. It is an online printmaking class, using ink on paper and the gelatin and glycerin plate.
Tea bags and tissue paper can be an interesting substrate for this printing process.  They are very absorbent and can hold the detailed impression nicely.
By the end of the printing course you will have stacks of monotype prints with potential.  We will approach the gel printing process with the intent to discover the possibilities of this non-toxic medium.

piles of papers
Seth Apter has a call for paper stacks on his blog the altered page.  His photo of his stacks of papers looked great and I thought I can do that, it looks like fun.  I have lots of piles that could be made into stacks. What was I thinking?  I do have lots of piles of papers that don’t look so pretty.  I sorted through some prints that I did on tissue paper last week. I will share some pictures tomorrow.
