I have been playing with a layering method using the Gelli Printing Plate and inexpensive acrylic paints. The key is to allow the first 2 layers to dry, and the third layer bonds to them and they all lift off the plate together. The idea was presented in
this video by Barbara Gray and I couldn't wait to try it out ! The above print was one of many I made today.
Then I started thinking about all the possibilities for altering the printed image in Photoshop. I scanned the original print and started applying different filters....
The one above used a filter called Poster Edges, and the one below is Ink Outlines. You can adjust the density of the filters as you wish.
The last one used a Gradient filter to make the whole thing sepia tones. The possibilities are almost endless for making background pages and collage papers using this method. Have fun !
