Learn How to Make Monoprints with Jelly Printing
Jelly printing or Printing without a Press or Monoprinting with a gelatine plate is a bit random as there’s no guarantee that when you peel back the paper you’ll get exactly the print you were expecting. Also, the jelly plate changes over time as it develops tiny holes or dries out slightly, which means that you’re unlikely to get identical prints.
You can make jelly prints of flowers and leaves.
You can combine plants with cut out stencils for interesting compositions and add texture and marks with found objects like Lego blocks.
Try masking areas with strips of paper.

Beautiful Anne. I particularly love the guinea fowl print and the little book with the feather. It makes me want to get back into guinea fowls!
Sometimes my guineas are infuriating but I’d miss them if they weren’t here.
This is a wonderful process! I am really inspired. You have got beautiful results – so much potential!
There’s so much potential! I’d love to see what you’d produce.
