Monoprint on Mold

For workshop information see December 21 posting.

My inspiration for today's monoprint came from  Linda Germain's gelatin prints. The grass was picked on my walk yesterday, I used a 2 inch soft rubber brayer on an old gelatin plate covered with mold. The mold creates the irregular circles and I applied uneven pressure on the brayer as I inked the plate. I also used an old spongy toe separator from a long-ago pedicure to make a few stamps in the blue ink, using a lighter blue. I like the complexity of the textures a lot!
