Gel Printing with Plants

Briana-GelliPrintingPlants copy

Using plants from your home or local area, let's create gorgeous plant prints!

Some ideas I have are:  use black paper and white acrylic paint, or blue paints to create a faux cyanotype look.

Of course, there is always the option to use all of the colors and simply PLAY!

It will be a great time no matter what you choose.

Suggested Supplies:

  • gel plate
  • plants (real or fake)
  • acrylic paints
  • soft rubber brayer
  • paper for printing onto (cardstock, copy paper, book pages)
  • paper for rolling off brayer
  • art apron
  • plastic table cloth or drying rack

When doing collage art, it's helpful to have an array of solid painted papers, as well as black and white.

Gel printing makes the work of building a stash of solid and black and white papers fast and fun!

  • acrylic paints
  • soft rubber brayer
  • paper to print onto (cardstock, copy paper, book pages)

Collage Cards

Cards


What do you do with all of those wild and amazing gel prints? You make cards, of course!

We'll use simple formats, such as grids and stripes, to create wonderful flat cards.

We'll also discuss using focal points for an additional design punch!

Suggested Supplies:

  • flat cards (cardstock or thin cardboard cut to your size preference)
  • collection of gel printed papers, including solids and b&w
  • glue stick or matte medium 
  • plastic card for burnishing
  • scissors and/or paper slicer (hand-tearing is also an option)
  • a focal element or two (think butterfly, botanicals, flower, face, etc.)
