Medium-- acrylic paint
Technique- printing with gelliplate
Your challenge is to create designs on a gelliplate and pull the prints. Some of you are saying, what is a gelliplate? It is a plastic surface that feels
like finger jello. Inside is mineral oil. You put acrylic paint on it with a brayer, a brush or even your fingers. You can add paint or subtract it and lay paper on it to make a print.
There are several books with ideas. I have Gelliplate Printing by Joan Bess. She and a marketing person created the gelliplate.
I would love players to tell their favorite gelliplate techniques. I like laying down things like string, corrugated cardboard, items with textures. I also enjoy layering with different colors. So if you don't like how a print turns out, you can put more color on nyour plate and take another print. So many possibilities.
This is a process better done on larger than ATC size and then when dry, cutting out your cards.
The other stuff you need to know....Cards should be 2 1/2 inches by 3 i/2 inches, and arrive in sleeves. Each of your cards should be different. Different colors or different prints. Or different techniques. On the backs of your cards, put at least your user name, your location, a date when you made the card and the swap name.
Every one needs to send a paper or sticky label with their mailing address. Do not send envelopes. I will provide them.
US players send 1 or 2 forever stamps.
International players, I will provide your postage.
Either tape your cards together with washi or painters tape. Or put them in a holder. A lot of people add a stiff piece of cardboard or cardstock. This is optional. I don't and my cards arrive. I do overlap my cards in the envelope.
Mail sooner rather than later. I do not wait for late cards. Mail is not reliable.
