Tutorial: Gelatin Bumping

from the Balzer Designs Blog: Tutorial: Gelatin Bumping
When I was experimenting with the technique of “stencil bumping,” I decided that there had to be a quicker way to do it when working with stencils.  So, I pulled out my gelatin plate (you can use a Gelli Plate, a Gel Press, or a homemade gelatin plate) and gave it a try.  In the video you’ll see that I tried a number of different methods for registration (lining up).  Take a peek:

Here are the samples from the video:

I think that this technique looks best when you keep the second print relatively close to the first.  But, as they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  🙂

I hope you’ll give this technique a try!  Thanks for stopping by!
