A couple of weeks ago I promised to post pictures of my gelatin printing results. I hadn’t gotten around to photographing them, because I just wasn’t sure I was satisfied with the results. I don’t know if my dissatisfaction is because the prints are round (I used the cheesecake pan), or what it is. For me, the texture freak, I usually go for backgrounds with texture and color. I’m not necessarily about making a “picture” when I monoprint, so maybe that’s why I wasn’t so terribly thrilled with the process, but here are a few pictures of what I did that day.
I used paint rolled on with a brayer and then swirled my fingers through it to make the design.
This is two prints, one on top of the other (need more colors!). I laid grasses and leaves on the paint to make both prints. I think this one is pretty cool.
This is a closeup of one with grass laid on it. I took a large piece of cloth and printed several of these together and overlapping…thought I might use it for a background.
This looks like two prints too, one on top of the other. I really love what I get when I print on a piece of plexiglass, but I like the moistness of the jello, maybe that helps to keep the paint from drying out so fast. I will have to try some printing with a square plate. I also like the flexibility of the gelatin plate, meaning the “squishiness”, the give in it. That part is pretty cool.

You can also press stamps and grids on the gelatin to make an impression. So much fun. I like it as it begins to break down and the edges are fuzzier!
Katherine–I really like your geletine printing. I tried it for the 1st time last week; I want to do more! Yours is great.
