I decided to finally draw on one of my Gelli plate print today. I had made this goddess-like form and completed the drawing with Soft Derwent colour pencils.

Thanks for looking!
Welcome Spring! I ran out of time yesterday and now I am a day late with my traditional Equinox/Solstice mixed media celebration. 5x7 Monoprint, lino print, acrylic, ink and magic.
Gelli plate print: Icy Acrylics on paper.
I'm experimenting with adding gold to some colors (see brownish patch on the bottom). This is one I'm not sure about: it's either totally ruined or bloody wonderful. Don't know yet. ;-D
More Gelli plate monoprints from early 2016.
In this case the paint had dried more than I realized so alot was 'lost' in the transfer, nevertheless I'm really happy with the results. :)

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...
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)

I decided to try my hand at mono printing. Here is a print of a photo I took in Las Vegas several years ago.
Gelli botanic monotypes. I love that they approach the look and feeling of old daguerrotypes - but in color.
These were made by ink the plate, pressing the botanical onto the plate and then either lifting the botanical - or not - before printing. The "composites" are two separate prints (foreground/background of same botanical in same position) that were combined digitally.
