Today 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!
