Last month a group of artist pals got together from 10-2 in the library meeting room to inspire one another and make some art.It was so much fun that we gave ourselves a name 'The Mixed Media Gang' and decided to get together once a month with each of us taking a turn to introduce a technique or share materials.
Today we learned, from artist Michele Barnes, to work with gel monoprints. She has simplified the process from what you'll find at the link here making it very easy to begin printing as soon as the gel sets up. Shown here are just a few of the images as we were being shown the process and then began our own experiments.

Oh, Donna, this looks like such fun! It must be so nice to have 3-dimensional art friends!
ReplyDeleteI love making monoprints on gelatin. The gel is so responsive.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and leaving a comment on my blog!
thanks Sharmon...yes art pals are a great inspiration whether virtual or in the same room...it's so excellent to connect and share ideas.
ReplyDeleteEva I'd really like to see some of your gel monoprints...do you have them posted?

have not tried the gel printing but it does look like fun and the prints look wonderful
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea. Your group, the mixed media gang, may want to show your art work in the library display case for a month.

This sounds like fun!I may have to try this with my students.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I love the painting in the last post. Have had a busy couple of weeks here, I've been looking but not saying much. I haven't made it to Tri-C yet to see your work, hope to soon!
