Well I have had time to play with several diferent fabric paints and gelatin printmaking. I was printing on to an old cotton sheet and came up with a few prints that I am happy with. As so often happens, layer and layer and layer the inks on and the prints change dramaticly with each pass.
Today I went shoppong for a few tools to play with. I picked up some fabric paints, some wood glue, some heat-n-bond and embroidery thread. I am going to experiment with gelatin printing on fabric some more. I think that I need to try damp fabric and to change my expectations of the impressions that I will be able to make. I think I need to put down more ink or paint and have the process be more about abstract image than crisp, clean imagery.

Over the weekend I went crazy making ATC’s. That would be a good crazy. So I have 40 or so cards with 2 or 3 different images. It was kind of fun to make a bunch of similar images. I think they all had a dance feel to them. Because my studio is so cold right now and I needed everything to day quickly I used the speedball inks. I Used hair spray as a fist fixative and then I brushed on two coats of matt medium. I do have a video about ATC’s and gelatin printing.
