First Print |
First "Ghost" print The smaller circles are from wooden spools dipped into the leftover paint on the Gelli plate |
Second "Ghost" print Those other cool circles are from the ends of cash register roll tubes! |
Rolling excess paint off the brayer and making another print! |
Since it was the last day of class for the session, and since our teacher had attended a workshop demo using Gelli plates for printmaking - we could work on our projects and try our hand at this.
We used the 5" x 7" plate. But as I found out the next day at Art Supply, there are many different sizes and shapes.
Everyone's all turned out differently, with feathers, washers, leaves, sticks, paperclips, lace, corrugated cardboard...you name it, we used it. Strathmore has their own version of printmaking paper (we used the Yellow "Better" level), but Bristol Smooth paper works well, too.
