We brought several trays of home made gelatin plates for people to play with, see previous posts for the recipe. We made monoprints with acrylic paints and masks, trying several different techniques. Peggy worked with a 8" x 8" pan, and had wonderful texture to her surface. She created pieces in a series, working in purple, lavender, and yellow. The "moon and dragonfly" patterns in various combinations created a beautiful painting. She used a freezer paper mask to create the moon, and the dragon flies were stamped with a foam stamp. Pat tried various combinations and worked on several pieces, one had a raven, with a branch and stamped leaves, which came out rather dark, but has great texture. The other was a green patterned print with circles and a moon, but the moon did not have good contrast, so she stamped in a bright red lily flower. A little extra red brought a lot of pizazz to the piece! Pat also played with a wood block print from Indonesia and stamped it on her fabric. No one could quiet figure out what the stamped image was, a heart shaped rabbit face with ears, a lion with mane, and several other speculations?
