pulling a collage paper print from a "gelliplate"

Collage papers being pulled

This was one of my favorite prints while making these collage papers! I figured out how to get the cracking effects that show all the layers of color like you see in this sheets. 



The original paintings are 10 by 7 inches. The pieces of collage papers were scraps from other projects. Those papers were happy gelliplate printing accidents. Trying to get the colors and accidents again was fun and challenging! 


This post shares some of the new collage papers I made using the gelliplate for the BIG paintings that are based on the small paintings. 


The BIG paintings are 100 cm by 70 cm, or ~39 inches by 27.5 inches. The US uses inches...while most of the globe uses centimeters...so definitely NOT 10 times the size of the original, lol!

I use a few "gelliplates" at the same time to save some time.
