What to do when gelatin prints are not "working"?

Well sometimes I just keep going when the prints are not coming out the way I want them to.  Sometimes I quit for the day, sometimes I changes size or color.  I want it to be fun all the time, and I want all the prints to be great.  Ha Ha Ha  Oh well.  So today I started with a very dark black/blue that I do not really care for.  I experimented for a while and then made a few more collages from security envelopes.  Then I looked through old prints for inspiration.  Then I did some doodling.

In the spirit of the season I will share this doodle that I did at figure drawing a couple of weeks ago.  Enjoy!

Back to Gelatin Printmaking tonight

I was at the farm today taking care of perennials, but gelatin printing tonight.  I cut a new stencil and continued with the map series.  I ended up with 2 or 3 that I like at this point.  That is a good night.  I found a tiny Maple tree while I was weeding today and thought I would try to print with it.  It is not very flat so it usually does not

work as well as I would like.  So I took a picure and maybe I will do some sketches that can turn into etching plates. http://www.linda-germain.com/
