Gelatin Printing on Handmade Paper!

Today was pretty fun because I learned something new in Gelatin Printing. Siobhan showed us the basics and we were left to experiment. I decided to try something on my own and instead of applying paint directly to the Gelatin, I got a palette and rolled my paint in that instead. I then imprinted things like leaves into the paint which left various marks, this was then printed onto regular A4 paper, which was then taken and applied to the Gelatin. From there I then used my handmade paper to pickup any paint that was on the Gelatin. It sounds pretty complicated but it's really not. The overall effect worked really nicely and I'm glad I got to try this out. My only gripe is that some of my colour came out pretty muddy and I wished I had more paper at the time ready to print on.

These are some of my results.
