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.

I put together a short video on how to refresh your soggy old gelatin plate. After doing the video I realized that the gelatin does not need to be blended. It is enough to just cut it up into 1 inch pieces. It is quicker and less mess. I also found that to add a couple tablespoons of new disolved gelatin to the old stuff helps make the gelatin firmer. Enjoy the music a Blues tune by John Lee Hooker that I got from the audio swap feature on You Tube.
