I had a student in the last session of Make Monotypes, who explored the vegetarian option to gelatin. She inspired me to experiment with the agar agar as well. It is a seaweed based “gelatin.” I can not report that I perfected the recipe or the plate. I do have a printing plate of agar agar that has lasted several weeks. I added some glycerin to make it stronger, but is still pretty fragile.
Today’s print is 5″ x 7″. I used the speedball water soluble block printing inks and a few stencils and stamping tools.
Happy Printing,
Linda
Beautiful! what did you use to get the dashed line?
