Taking a break from soy wax batiking to finish yesterday’s work. Gelatin printing was not on the schedule, but we begged and Rayna made a huge pan of gelatin and cut it up for us to use. Here is my piece of gelatin after much use. It gets better, the more you play with it.

Here is the process:

Brayer some paint on to the gelatin.

Then, place an object with some dimension on the painted plate.

Place the fabric on the gelatin plate and pat it with your hand. The impression of the object is left on the fabric.

Here is apiece that I gelatin printed in blue.

These will become background pieces for collages or get cut up and used in another way. This is really lots of fun and the possibilities are limitless.

OK! Off to take a walk and work off my Mexican lunch. Then, back to work.
