I had the idea of making some lino cuts and using these with
the Gelli Plate, I am sure it is not a new idea but new to me. I think it has
some potential, especially using some of the background ideas from Carla
Sonheim.
Some of these were made on pages taken out of my sketchbook and I need
to proceed in a more thoughtful way and on better paper.
One advantage I
noticed is that the background using acrylic dries quickly and can then be
layered with the printing inks (or vice versa), whereas when I made a linocut
background and then put another print using water based printing inks on top it
took a long time to be dry to the touch.
In the one above you can see that some of the ink transferred to the plate from a previous print to which I had added a background.
Bye the way 'hello' to new followers and thank for reading.
I love this combination - largely black and white so no surprise to me that I like them ...
ReplyDeleteI saw them on Flickr a while ago but I really enjoyed the opportunity to see more of them here. I love the designs and your choice of colour, very very interesting work!
ReplyDeleteI am also just experimenting with my new gelli plate ... inspiring to look at the patterns you've created!
ReplyDeleteI love these. The neutral colors are spot on as well!
