Today, I cleaned up my work space a little and then gathered a few tools and pulled some gelatin prints. I was thinking about a couple of design concepts. Keep it simple Layer light over dark let a focus evolve I hope you can find time to play with printmaking. Give yourself some limits of […]
Fall is a good time to find thin sturdy grasses for printing with the gelatin plate. When you are looking for good grasses and weeds to use as masking stencils look for: very flat very thin good spaces between the branches size that will work well with your plate sturdy – so it does […]
A baren is often used in relief printing to make a crisp even transfer of ink to the paper. You can find barens made of bamboo and more modern materials at online stores and big chain art stores. I like to use what I have before I go buy a new art tool, so I […]
Gelatin printmaking is fun, fast and addictive. But after the initial surprise and excitement many artists want to exercise some control over the process. Or they see clean, crisp layers made by other printmakers and artist and wonder how it was achieved. Now fair warning, monotype printmaking is often experimental and exact marks often can […]
I found a tutorial and another here on Tetra Pak Collograph/Intaglio. I did some more searching online about the process and just had to give it a try. Tetra Pak is a composite packaging system. I found broth, soups, milks, and juices at the grocery store and even some things at the Dollar Tree store. So […]
I have ordered a roll of Tyvek® from Material Concepts. I really love how durable the stencils are when they are cut from Tyvek®. I never thought that I would have the patience for cutting intricate stencils. But as you can tell by this wall of prints I have been cutting a lot of stencils. […]

Use a newsprint pick up in glycerin and gelatin printmaking to increase the contrast of the detailed impression by linda germain
One way to work up an image when you are gelatin printing is to ink sections of the plate rather than cover the whole plate with a thin layer of ink. This will allow for: Interesting division of space More control over layers A stronger range of value – dark to light Today I printed […]

Sometimes a tiny mark can transform a bland print into a wow print. This was a boring abstract landscape and I: cropped it added some textural marks put in some dark black marks And know I quite love it. Here is another example: Before – After: I made: the darks darker and added tiny texture […]
I just discovered that bold stencils cut from brown paper bags are durable enough to use with the gelatin plate. It is quite relaxing to grab a pair of scissors and a paper bag and cut out shapes. Before you know it you will have a pile of new stencils. I managed to pick a […]
Stencils are an easy way to make prints without having a printing press. The prints above were created with stencils in combination with the gelatin printing plate. The words and figure are created with what I call traditional “hole” type stencils. This was a print made from a magazine image. The purple image on the […]

It's a morning to play. While making some simple embroidery hoop "silk screen frames", I took pictures along the way for those who may never have tried this technique. Embroidery hoops of various sizes may be obtained reasonably at craft and yardage stores; however, they are often abundant at thrift stores and yard sales and the prices in these venues cannot be beat. All of the hoops used for the frames in the pictures were discovered in thrift stores. Even the one that shows a $2 price tag only cost 50 cents at the thrift store. Bonus!! At this price, cost does not need to figure into the joy of experimentation and discovery of a new form of art expression. Materials:Wooden embroidery hoops of any size Sheer window curtain Pliers Scissors 1) Lay sheer window curtain material over the smaller, inside hoop of a two-part embroidery hoop and then place the larger hoop over this and push down to secure the sheer material inside the hoop. 2) Locate the tightening screw on the embroidery hoop. 3) Tighten the screw. 4) Turn the hoop over and pull the screen fabric from the back side of the hoop to make screen side tight. Go around the entire circle, pulling as you move the hoop. 5) Continue tightening the screw 6) If you happen to have several embroidery hoops, you may use this time to make more than one screen. Various sizes of hoops determine the size of the screen printing images that can be made, but these can be very handy for smaller designs. This hoop was a very inexpensive one that was originally sold for $200 but was purchased at a local thrift store for 50 cents. 7) Repeat the process from #1. (Lay sheer window curtain material over the small, inside hoop of a two-part embroidery hoop and then place the larger hoop over this and push down to secure the sheer material inside the hoop.) 8) The less expensive hoops have a small tightening knob that may initially be tightened between the thumb and forefinger, but effective, full tightening needs to be done with the aid of pliers. 9) Repeat the process from #4 and #8 (pull from reverse to make fabric tight in the hoop and continuously tighten as you pull fabric taut). 10) Cut the assembled hoops away from the main panel of sheer curtain fabric. 11) Lay the prepared hoops flat on the work surface. 12) Separate the assembled hoops. Leave a generous margin around the hoops. This will allow enough fabric to make tugging and retightening easier, should the fabric become slack in the hoop. 13) Even small hoops may be used. 14) Here are examples of various sized hoops that have been prepared for screen printing. 15) ...AND oodles of curtain screen fabric remains. Ahhh, the potential is invigorating. And always remember...

I had been hearing about the Xcut X-Press craft machine from Annie Day and the Printmaking sisters in Australia. They use this small embossing craft machine to make beautiful waterless lithography prints, etching prints and lino cut prints. I know I prefer the immediacy of monoprinting with the gelatin plate. I really like the non-toxic […]
