From Last Printmaking Class

Finished the printmaking class the week before last.  I really enjoyed it.  I would like to take it again but I am taking a break for a while.  No art classes this summer but will be back at it in the fall.  The following are two of the prints from my last class.

The first is a gelatin print from a stamp I picked up at an estate sale of a local potter.  Gelatin prints are wild - the instructor made a slab from gelatin and you paint on it, lay a piece of paper on top then rub.  Great fun - something you can do at home since you do not need a printing press.

The second is a gelatin print on top of a print I had done earlier from a solar plate.  The plate is based on a photo I had taken in Italy.
