Gelatin Plate Fingerpaint Monoprints


Here are two consecutive prints from the same plate onto the same piece of fabric.

And the tree . . . looking very fingerpainted, but with the right stitching and embellishments - should be stunning. Yes?

This particular print was done with fingers and paintbrush. I used a paintbrush to get the grass texture on the ground, but the sky was painted with fingers.

How fun to play like a kid again. I love gelatin prints and I bet its all squishy and cold and slippery. :-)

Isn't that the most fun process? All squishy and to add fingerpainting in the mix, well that's just pure fun!

LOVE the tree especially!
