100 Days of Gelatin Printing

100 Days of Gelatin Printing: Days 80-86

I had such a fantastic experience teaching my live online gelatin printing class on Sunday.  It really renewed my energy for this 100 day project.  In fact, I've only got 14 days left (wow) and so I've been thinking about how/if I might extend/build/grow this little printing endeavor.  I have some ideas, but I'm going to have to marinate on it for a little while longer.  In the meantime, here are my most recent layered monoprints for my 100 Day Project (These images are embedded from instagram.  If you can't see them, click HERE.):

Gelatin printing is deeply addictive.  It is both simple and complex and I love that.

Thanks for stopping by!

  • i really like the smaller prints. i use my small “plates” to print in my art journals (one of them is only 4×6).
    my favorite is #86. yes, it looks done to me. i would frame it just as it is!
    Baby doesn’t *know whether you succeeded or fail. to him, you are always successful. and hey, the joy is in the process!

  • I wonder if some inspiring words, or a saying, would help them “feel” finished, along with a frame of sorts. I make cards vs art, so these images would end up as background to Happy Birthday, etc., if I made prints. Certainly what you create is very interesting and inspiring just as is! I think finding a sweet spot that makes the art feel “finished” is a fun challenge. Maybe make 5 prints all the same and then add a different addition to each one and see how that changes your thought process. When do you plan to paint a portrait of your son, btw? He is such a cutie.
