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
