| ©2012 linda germain – printmaking on fabric with a cut up gelatin plate |
Well I tore up old cotton shirt and started printing on it. I wanted to learn more about transferring the details from the gelatin plate to the fabric. I wanted to compare the direct marks and the marks made with the gelatin. I used a concept that I learned from fiber artist, Linda Branch Dunn, to use up all the ink and not put it down the drain. So
- I used the ink on the stamping tool and pressed it directly on to the fabric.
- I used the ink left on the brayer, after inking the stamping tool. (this was the most amazing)
- and of course I used the ink on the gelatin plate.
Combining all 3 types of marks created a stronger range of values – something I like. I cut the gelatin into a circle and square, inked it, worked into the ink and then I picked it up and placed on the fabric.
