Printing with ferns

gelatin printing with ferns on tissue
So, I know everyone prints with ferns when they experiment with gelatin printing, but they do it because the results are awesome.   I used the Daniel Smith Water soluble block printing inks and thin tissue paper.  It will take a few days to dry and then I can collage the prints on to something.  Playing with photo editing options and going a bit crazy! Lightroom, photoshop, Elements, Organizer, Bridge, iPhoto, Aperture  So many choices.
