Gelatin print with a thermofax print linda germain

In this gelatin plate monotype print, I used the spirograph thermofax image in 2 different colors to add interest, create motion and dynamic balance in the print. You could do the same or come up with other ways to use the image to add accent marks to your prints.

Gelatin print and thermofax print cropped into a book mark

Here, I cropped a similar gelatin print with theromfax accents into a bookmark. This is a fun way to put your gelatin prints to use.

Thermofax screen printed fabric sewn into a handbag

I used 5 of the screens from the thermofax starter kit to all over print the red fabric and then I sewed it into a hand bag. I lined it with some hand dyed fabric and repurposed the handles from another bag. All over random printing on fabric is fast and fun with thermofax screens.

hand printed cards using a thermofax screen

I used 3 of the screens from the starter kit to make a few “Create Love” cards. So you are starting to see some of the different ways to combine and print the 8 screens to make plenty of printed projects.

dragonfly thermofax screen print by linda germain

For this dragonfly card, I use the thermofax screen that comes in the starter kit, printed over a gelatin print background and then hand stamped “fly with me”. I know that dragonflies are very popular.

The thin line drawings of the thermofax images are great for overall printing on scarves because they only let thin lines of ink pass through to the fabric. That allows for a softer feel when the fabric dries. Ink sits on the surface as compared to dye which is absorbed into the fibers.

small table cover printed with ink and thermofax screensI used 5 of the 8 screens from the thermofax starter kit to make a small table cover. I used soft pastel colors so the images would blend and compliment each other.

screen printing on teabags with thermofax screens

Another idea is to use the thermofax screens to print on teabags or other mixed media papers for a variety of projects. The possibilities are endless.

  1. I am interested but do I need any kind of thermofax machine. Are all things I mite have while doing gelli printing, stamping and such? Joan

  2. Hi Linda, I would love to purchase the thermofax starter ki but its sold out … will you be getting more made? If so please sign me up for the class and the kit. Thanks. I’ll keep checking to see if you’ve got it back in.
    Thanks

    Ps so much enjoyed your last class monoprinting. Didn’t get a lot done as life got in the way. But I have holidays coming up and plan to cramp in my sewing room to catch up.

  3. Dear Linda,

    When you print with the Thermofax image, do you need to use a silk screen technique? Is it almost like using a rubber stamp?

    How much would it cost to make Thermofaxes of my own drawings?

    Thank you for your assistance.

    Best regards,

    Dianna Diatz

    1. Dianna,
      It is a modified screen printing process. Watch the videos on this blog post http://www.lindagermain.com/2016/04/screen-printing-made-easy/ I think that will give you a good idea. You do want to make a lot of the same image when thermofax screen printing. So it is not like block printing or stamping where you can easily and efficiently make just one print.

      Hope that helps you. I know there are many folks who will burn screens of your own drawings. Check out Etsy. I am not doing that service at this time.
      Thanks,
      Linda

  4. Hi Linda,
    This looks like an interesting process!
    I like the idea only I’d like to make/use my own images.
    Is this possible?

    1. Hi Michelle,
      There are many folks who will burn custom screens for you. Check out Etsy. Unfortunately, I do not provide that service at this time.
      Thanks,
      Linda
