Art Unstructured: Gelli Plate Printing and Photoshop
http://annreneelighter.blogspot.com/2014/04/gelli-plate-printing-and-photoshop.html
When we all think alike, then no one is thinking.". 8212; Walter Lippman. Monday, April 28, 2014. Gelli Plate Printing and Photoshop. I have been playing with a layering method using the Gelli Printing Plate and inexpensive acrylic paints. The key is to allow the first 2 layers to dry, and the third layer bonds to them and they all lift off the plate together. The idea was presented in this video. By Barbara Gray and I couldn't wait to try it out! The above print was one of many I made today. I am a comp...

Art Unstructured: Mixed Media Zentangle
http://annreneelighter.blogspot.com/2014/06/mixed-media-zentangle.html
When we all think alike, then no one is thinking.". 8212; Walter Lippman. Thursday, June 19, 2014. One of the things I love about Mixed Media is the freedom to experiment with any combination of techniques together on the same surface. It's always a new adventure to see how one medium plays with another. For this journal spread, I started with layers of colored mono prints, using a Gelli Printing Plate, for the background. Love the way you put all items together. Great lettering and zentangling. I am a c...

Art Unstructured: Artist Trading Card
http://annreneelighter.blogspot.com/2014/06/artist-trading-card.html
When we all think alike, then no one is thinking.". 8212; Walter Lippman. Wednesday, June 25, 2014. As this work evolved, it started to remind me of a playing card from some strange deck. When the numeral was added in the upper right corner, it became "The Five of Fish.". Five images were used (the fish was duplicated 5 times and manipulated in size and orientation), and layered in Adobe Photoshop. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Art Unstructured: Homemade Gelatin Printing Plate

When we all think alike, then no one is thinking.". 8212; Walter Lippman. Friday, July 11, 2014. Homemade Gelatin Printing Plate. I love printing with Gelli Plates! I have purchased one in every size available, and they are great. Recently I ran across some information indicating that a permanent gelatin plate could be made from simple ingredients. Of course I just had to try it! You can see that the plate is like very soft plastic, and does not require refrigeration. I would, however, store it in a ...
