Card image by terri stegmiller  and gift of plastic doilies from terri as well. Thank you!

Yesterday I received the gift of the two fabulous doilies from Terri Stegmiller.  She read about my search and wanted to share some extras that she had found.  Wow what a generous offer.  I look forward to playing with them.  They are sturdy and have good size holes, just what I like in a stencil of this sort.  She has inspired me to be generous in some way.  So I am keeping my mind open to situations for giving.

I am doing some research for an article that I am writing about monotype prints.  It is affirming to feel a connection to the description of what a monotype is. It confirms that I am working in the the medium that best fits me. William Jung, describes the process as freeing the artist from the technical aspects of traditional printmaking.  That’s me! He further describes the process as experimental and unpredictable. Me again!  The monotype and the gelatin print are as varied as the artists that create them.

Join the Flickr Community and share your gelatin print passion with those with a similar passion.

I invite all my followers and readers to join the gelatin printmaking flickr group that I just created.  I think it will be fun to share images and ideas.   Maybe get some discussion going about successes and challenges that we encounter in the gelatin printmaking process.

Today my order from Dick Blick arrived.  I am going to try the Akua Kolor with the gelatin plate and I also got some createx Monotype ink.

I know other printmakers have used these ink with success, so let’s see how I do. I am sure I will learn a lot.

That is what I like learning something new or figuring out how to to something new.

Happy Printing!
