In the Studio making Gelatin Prints!!!!

2010, monotype print / /
I am finally in the studio and printing.  It feels good.  I am singing and dancing along with my country music.  Today I am feeling the Christmas spirit.  I bought some materials to make a quilt for the family yankee swap.  I have been playing with christmas card images and cutting some stencils.  I have about 6 old moldy gelatins in the refrigerator.  One had to be thrown out today, but I used another and got some nice textured effects like the background on this angel print.  Here I am using Daniel Smith water soluble inks for the angel and speedball gold for the background. This is a picture of the moldy gelatin.  Don’t be afraid.  Use it you will get some fun results. http://www.linda-germain.com/
