Gelatine Plate Printing with Natural Dyes
This is from several years ago, I have a geliplate my best friend Brenda got me for xmas last year that I really, really need to use! I'm thinking some earth pigments and my Black Birds in Tree stencil onto fabric for starters. The plate in the above photo I made myself, here I'm using lace and trims as resists for the print which I made onto fabric.
Cotton fabric, that I do believe I compost dyed, osage orange on the gelatin plate with some lace trims gave a nice resist pattern. After curing and washing the osage orange color is about 30% of it's orignal brightness on cotton fabric. Now to find this piece of fabric in my stash and audition some threads for stitching.
