A Gelatine Plate Is Not Meant To Be Eaten

I tried to make my own gelatine plate, after all I have a big bottle of powder gelatine at home.   Well, this is not making jelly to eat. I then used some acrylic paints (gold, silver, pewter and red) and a brayer on the gelatine plate. Don't know what was not quite right, the paints couldn't spread well. And Singapore is so hot that the gelatine actually melted after a while! But, I just used what came out from the prints. Added on some fabric motifs and metallic thread.

These are for Paper_Traders' Pull A Print swap for 3"x5" index cards.  They went to Mel Dunkley (UK) and Linda Edkins (USA), together with the Daily Junk Mails postcard.  Weaved the background for the 2 postcards that went to Mel and Linda, and I cut out the shape of our Singapore island and sponged over with distress inks in the middle of the postcards (that's my additional technique we were supposed to add).    Well, Singapore is a food paradise!

Karla Jackson (USA) and Carol Fosdick (USA) sent their Pull A Print card to me.  I like the colours on Carol's works but it looked unfinished though.

The back of Karla's card is just as sweet as the front! 

The Daily Junk Mails postcards came in from Pam Imhoff's (USA) Every day is Earth Day, and Beckie Holso's (USA) Wanderlust. Both are awesome in their own rights. 

Linda Wyatt (USA) resent me her abstract art postcard for last Sep swap, and this time it arrived fast. 

Acrylic paints on deli paper. Love Linda's abstract art, composition and colours and all! 

Collages and April ATC Session @Bishan Library

Paper Traders had an index card (size 3"x 5") swap in March and we were introduced to Adam Hale's Daily Splice, where he take images from London's free magazines out of context and splice them together.  Very interesting.

 

My first 2 pieces sent to Pam Colosimo (Canada) and Debra Claxton (USA) - Biketacular and Timeless Yoga.

Received the swap back from Mel Dunkley and Beckie Holso (Bloom Where You're Planted).

I did more to show the April ATC session. From top left hand corner - another piece of Biketacular, Read A Face, Behind The Look, Wokaventure, Mr Rock Well.

Compass Travel,  Inside Me,  Hooked On,  I Sewed My First Dress.

Everyone attempted during the session to come up with some awesome cards.

Traded for the ATC done by Jessica Chua and Selina Yeoh.
