On Friday, Jackie Jimerson and I did an instagram live together where we each made a simple zine using stencils and gelatin printing. They ended up being very different, which is one of my favorite things about art making: We can all use the same supplies and techniques and end up with wildly different results!
Here is mine:
Here is Jackie's:
As you can see from the photo, Jackie is offering her zine as a free download! You can go HERE to get it. She even has included instructions on how to fold it. You can see that it becomes a really cute little book:
Balzer Designs Members can download a copy of my zine in the online classroom (It's at the end of the July 2020 post). I made mine from a bigger piece of paper, so when you print it out, it's a bit smaller, but it still looks super awesome!
I printed on regular copy paper, but you'll get more true color results if you print on a matte photo paper.
If you missed the livestream, I've archived it on my instagram page and you can watch it below (or HERE if you're reading this on email and don't see the embedded video below):
I hope you'll make a gelatin printed zine of your own!
Thanks for stopping by!
Very interesting, thank you. I am going to give it a try…

I really enjoyed watching both of you create your Zines. As you know, I am a big fan of yours and I think your style has influenced how I think to do things. Watching, Jackie work over the entire pages vs your way which was creating in each individual fold, made me want to try both approaches. I also really enjoyed your podcast with Jackie & your Mom (I love that your Mom told you as a kid that you “didn’t have to take the burnt cookies” … how I wish I had an influence like your Mom when I grew up).

A lot of hard work. So interesting. This was my first video showing how one uses a gelli plate and then makes a project. I am not really sure what projects are made using gelli plates out there in the art world but this was interesting. Thanks for sharing.
