so Cool – Mixed Media Gelatin Plate Monotype

mixed media gelatin plate monotype print by linda germainToday for the ICAD challenge I made a mixed media gelatin plate monotype print with –

  • gelatin print with speedball inks
  • printed with a regular ‘ol gelatin plate
  • a paper masking stencil of a pair of glasses
  • charcoal text and outline
  • on an index card
  • printed ink on the back to get it to lay flat

I like how the gold, red and yellow mixed in this back ground.

 

Watch a video of the gelatin plate printing technique I used here.

I was in the flow once I started printing and made a whole stack of similar mixed media gelatin plate monotype prints.  Some are on maps, phone book pages and of course index cards. These glasses remind me of summer.  I am not sure why.

Stay cool!
