Why gelatin, you might ask? Well, you know how much fun it is to eat...it's even MORE fun to play with it! Pure JOY. I could spend days printing this way...
slime green...wonder who did that one? :-)
We used all kinds of things to create patterns and texture. I gathered lots of different leaves from my yard...long leaf pine, maple, oak, strawberry, dandelion, ferns, and I even realized after years of battling this noxious weed mess that I can't get rid of - don't know what it is, that it actually has perfect leaves for printing! I did stop short of using the poison ivy I found (reminder to self, go spray that!). We also used pool noodles, thread spools, straw, netting, bubble wrap, a potato masher, a spatula, foam stamps...lots of stuff. Did I mention how much FUN we had??
Rayna, wish you could have been with us in person!

Great fun! I know how enjoyable this can be, Quiltkeemosabe and I have done this sort of activity and it's just amazing what fantastic results can occur! You did GOOD!
Thanks for making me feel welcome this morning. I had a great time. The technique was a lot of fun.
LOL - Your group printed some wonderful fabrics! Glad you restrained yourself -poison ivy doesn't make very interesting prints, anyway! What creativity! Hey - I'd love to be there. Invite me next time.
I LOVE this book and unfortunately haven't had time to get to gelatin printing yet. Looks like you all had a great time!
You guys looked like you had a blast!!!!
