Today I told myself to make 20 gelatin prints on some old cards that I found in the studio. I ink was not working the way I wanted. It was sticking to my stencils and not sticking to the gelatin as much as I wanted it to. I wondered if I should keep going even though it was not cooperating. I did finish all 20 gelatin plate monotype prints. I even like a couple of them. www.linda-germain.com

Today I played with a method I like to call foam plate reduction printmaking. I make more new marks in between states/colors. I had varying results. I think that it will be a great warm up and discovery project for my printmaking class next week at college for kids, NECC, Haverhill. I started out with the goal of experimenting with different mark making tools to create different textures, lines and shape.

Today I matted a couple of pieces and dropped them off for review at the Newburyport Art Association Gift Shop – a new endeavor for me. I am not sure how old this piece of gelatin is but it is on it’s last days. I pick up the extra moisture with lots of sheets of newsprint and just print. The holes and lines and imperfections make the gelatin fun to work with. I have to experiment with usin line, shape and not much other texture to get a pleasing print.

Today I am dropping of a print for the Alter-A-tions Show in Salem, Mass. I am also getting some work ready to put in the gift shop at the Newburyport Art Association. I worked on making some small note cards and I have a stack of prints to mat. I was a process to figure out just how to easily make the note cards but I am pleased with how they are coming along.
