Many uses for your Gelatin Prints

Sometimes you pull a gelatin print and it is perfect in it’s simplicity. And it is ready to frame.

And then other times the monotype print becomes a background for a stencil or screen printed image.

The “Love” print is a gelatin print background and a hand carved stamp for the love focus. The bird print is a thermofax screen print on top of a light blue gelatin print.

These 2 gelatin prints have a dark focus that was added after the gelatin printing process. The reindeer print shows how a delicate and detailed background can be the perfect surface for a bold shape.

The Lady Love print shows the brayered blocks of color and the beauty of simplicity that is possible with gelatin plate monotype process. The “love” was added with hand printing with old wooden type from the Museum of Printing.
