Gelatin Printing

Gelatin printing was the most fun I have had in a long time! I spent the day with my friend Lucy Senstad and her sister Joannie. Lucy showed us how to gelatin print. I have included a video from YouTube below if you want to see the process, there are many more videos available too, so have a look and then give this a try . . . I loved it!!!
