So thanks to texas, artist and gelatin printmaker, Cathy Savage, I am hoping to extend the life of my gelatin plate.
I have two workshops that are two weeks apart and I am hoping to use the same gelatin plates.
Two weeks in the refrigerator in the summer is a long time.
So Cathy says freeze it, Microwave it and let it harden, and then printing begins.
One benefit seems to be that the mold and scum settles to the bottom of the gelatin after it is reheated.
So far so good. I will see if it is ready for gelatin printing tomorrow.
really curious to know if this will work, would save me a lot of problems when the fridge is too full :p
We will see tomorrow.
I love coming here to see what you’re up too!
