Create beautiful one-of-a-kind monoprints in this basic hands-on class. Use a gelli plate (or an ordinary pane of glass from a small picture frame) to make dozens of interesting papers suitable for collage and small art projects.

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 over' after cutting out plant shapes (eg the shapes of the holes in the leaves)
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 last year and had loads of fun playing with different techniques.

I was trying to pull another print from a dry plate - I wet the plate and laid blue tissue paper on it. However, instead of the ink transferring to the paper, the blue from the paper transferred to the plate. This is the plate after I lifted the paper.

Mixed printmaking technique: block print and gelli plate.
I *think* what I did here was:
- Cut into a rubber "linoleum" block.
- Ink the gelli plate
- Use the block to lift ink off the gelli plate
- Print the gelli plate
That means the final image is in the same "direction" as the cut block.
About 4 X 5 block on 5X7 gelli.
The imagery is actually derived from the plant shadow pieces...
I covered a print I didn't like in dark color (Payne's grey). I think I will add some white lines. And then it will be OK.

I decided to create many of these little birdie cards after this occured:
While sitting in a hospital lobby cutting, pasting and collaging a #moleskine journal page I noticed a young man with cerebral palsy watching me. He was interested and curious in what i was doing. I overheard his mother at the admittance office checking him in for a surgery of some sort. I decided I would quickly make a tiny piece of art for him. i found a business size gelliplate card in my art supplies. I glued a bird on it and added a cute little hat on top of it's head. I felt bad it wasn't more masculine, and hoped he would still like it. When I was done and just before his mother and father wheeled him away, I rushed over to hand it to him. To my surprise, He was actually a young lady with lovely earrings. She smiled from ear to ear and sounds of joy came out of her. I was so touched, more than I had imagined I would be.
I bought a brush paint pen, and drew on a Gelliplate printed background.
Its great to have fun again playing around with new art equipment .

Best of 'day 2', of Carla Sonheims course - Gelli plate printmaking.
Day one left me with a soft coloured print with lots of purple. I just added a few dark and green wavy bits using a stencil.
I liked this one the best.
