High Pike - Abstract gelli printing

Taking the photographs from the previous blog, I began to experiment with my gelli plate - first on paper and then fabric - to be honest it was hard work - out of my comfort zone and as always you have to work through the feeling of wanting to give up the idea as the first few prints were rubbish! They did though provide paper for collaging, which infact I found most useful as they may form the basis of a quilted piece...I then photographed them and have printed a couple onto fabric which I put through my home printer - we'll see how that develops as an idea too. 

Collaged ...

...and printed onto fabric ...
