Today I'm sharing the gelatin printing I've done over the last 7 days. Some good. Some bad. Some struggles. Some victories. Check it out (These images are embedded from instagram. If you can't see them, click HERE.):
Some thoughts:
- These are more time consuming than I intended. I may have to (a) set a time limit, (b) use a smaller plate, or (c) work on a print over a few days. After all, I did say it was 100 Days of Gelatin Printing, not Finished Prints. We shall see.
- I'm actually running out of paint. I mean, I still own plenty of paint. But I'm actually throwing empty tubes away. It's amazing. Looks like I'm going to have to do some online shopping!!!
- I definitely have some "oldies but goodies" stencils in my stash that I just loooove for printing. And I've been dragging them out. I suspect that my next round of stencils for the Crafter's Workshop will be very oriented towards gelatin printing…. I'm definitely planning on cutting a few new prototypes based on some ideas that I have!
- My favorite prints from this week are the ones that use a primary palette. I often try to get away from that triad of yellow, blue, and red…but I can't! I love it so.
- I'm developing some gelatin printing "cheats." You know, the go-to saves that rescue a print every single time. That's a good sign. It's what a daily project like this almost always ends up doing to me. I develop a bag of tricks.
Before I go, I wanted to share this video I put together, which explains the very basics of what gelatin printing is:
Thanks for stopping by!

Beautiful prints. I find Gelli printing time consuming too.

Hi Julie,
Love your gelli prints and would really love to have the gelli print class you were going to run at home (in those wonderful pre-COVID days) become an on-line class. Such a subtle hint…

Wow! they are great – I struggle so much with making gelli prints – they almost all come out looking like messy blurs of color – glad to hear you’re learning too and will pass on your knowledge!
