Gelatin Plate Printing with Priscilla

What a fun night playing with paints, stamps, scrapers, brayers, bubble wrap and many other things with texture to make interesting designs to put on paper and fabric.
Priscilla is a wealth of information, she has made hundreds of different prints.  Some of which she then sews together to make larger pieces of art.  

 The Gelatin plate can be purchased or made from unflavored gelatin and glycerin.


















Above are examples of Priscilla's art pieces.
Below, we do our best to make something art worthy.
