I am dating myself and my little brother, but I clearly remember him printing the newsletter he wrote and delivered on his bike himself to sick kids in hospital...on that very homemade gelatin pad. We ooh-ed and ahh-ed when we saw it. Have to say WOW my eyes popped open when I saw what you did to your residue paper with a Micron pigma pen! You are so talented. :-) Looking forward to seeing what you sketched at the pond.Sandra Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17737049269550479188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042289181469558257.post-85539229846403761542016-07-18T14:54:57.936-04:002016-07-18T14:54:57.936-04:00I am completely interested in reading about your d...I am completely interested in reading about your different printing methods! I will most likely not ever do them, but I find your process fascinating and especially how a print may start one way, but how adding other techniques can make it look completely different! I especially love your scrap piece and how brilliant it looks with your drawing on it with a micron pen.

I can't tell you how many times I've tried to get through all the links on Off the Wall Friday's link up, and been waylaid by something new I had to track down. I found the many bloggers posts about gel printing through it along with dyeing, printing, and so on. Other artists sharing their process has literally caused me to move from the general quilting and longarming to art quilts. So, let's all share as much as we're comfortable with.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02834496271292973632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042289181469558257.post-69195523376018033452016-07-17T07:27:31.438-04:002016-07-17T07:27:31.438-04:00Frances, I think you should!

I think that should be a feature soon. The cost of buying the plate is a hindrance for sure, but the wow factor of printing makes it worth it to me.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02834496271292973632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042289181469558257.post-38344380923939111272016-07-17T07:21:05.019-04:002016-07-17T07:21:05.019-04:00Thank you, Irene.

I think you're right that it works better without, though. I found the paint puddled on that one vs the others because of the waterproof backing. Ah, another post in the making.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02834496271292973632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042289181469558257.post-14251546125663669452016-07-17T07:19:10.835-04:002016-07-17T07:19:10.835-04:00Thank you, Joan.

I like to try so many new things, and even if they don't find their way into my work at the moment, they eventually lead me in a new direction of some sort.

I also purchased one of the smaller sets to experiment with. Printing has become the most exciting process, and I reward myself by doing at least a few prints each day. It gets me excited to get a little ink or paint on my fingers, and is something that I find is calming and settling. After a short session, I'm ready to get on with my work. I think you'll see a lot more printing in my future posts.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02834496271292973632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042289181469558257.post-76719235492526589162016-07-17T07:08:01.353-04:002016-07-17T07:08:01.353-04:00Thank you, and I will keep posting.

Those of us who are on the same/similar path need to see what others are doing. We can learn so much from the experiments of others and this communication method is very valuable!
