Gelatin Monoprints on Fabric

My friend Lynne (the other half of the brain) and I attempted gelatin monoprints on fabric. You basically make a batch of jello jigglers (using unflavored gelatin). Once the gelatin has set you can apply textile paints, lay on a piece of fabric, and create a one-of-a-kind print on fabric. It was kind of cool. My three-year-old grandaughter thought it was fun, too. Here are some pictures - the first is Lynne applying paint to a gelatin 'slab'.




The remainder are examples of prints. Look for something to be made from these real soon.
