I did some floral prints today on the gel plate. I gathered some plants and brought them into the house. To do a gel plate floral, you first ink up the plate with the colors you want, lay the plants on the plate, and make a print. This gives you a negative. You then take the plants off the plate and make another print to make a positive. I was surprised by how much detail showed up in the positives. Image is about 6x6 inches (15x15 cm).

Playing with stencils and paints on the gelli plate.

Gelli monoprint/monotype on paper (I believe the ones made with stencils are monoprints, since I can use the stencil to pull multiples, while the ones where I painted directly on the plate are monotypes because there is only one full print, and maybe a ghost print.)

The abstract pieces are part of my Sun Dances series derived from plant shadows; they were made by arranging paper 'left overs' after cutting out plant shapes (eg the shapes of the holes in the leaves)

The variations on the dancers and dogs were made with shapes cut specifically for the purpose... and some of the 'leftovers' from those cut-outs.

The botanicals are made by rolling ink/paint on the plate, pressing the botanical item onto the plate, and then lifting, then putting paper on the plate and pressing to transfer.

5 X 7 inches (printed area)

A Gelli plate is a commerically made gelatin-type plate for monoprint/monotyping that makes it very very easy to pull prints without a press. I got one in January of 2016 and had loads of fun playing with different techniques. You can google for more info on Gelli printing, this link looks pretty good: keetonsonline.wordpress.com/2013/05/16/all-about-gelli-pl...

Cut out flower shapes, Gelli plate, golden open acrylics. I started with a first layer of color only, pressed in a map stencil. The paper cut outs had paint on both sides, so I got the white transferred to my plate, or maybe it printed from the stencil - not sure.
