Do you know what the above photo is?    Well, it is approximately $ 8 dollars worth of gelatin used to make a gel printing plate at home.   This was made in a 9X13 pan according to the proper instructions, chilled overnight and when the attempt was made to remove it from the pan to create prints.....this was the result.   


Aside from cracking, melting, sliding, messy, fussy, taking up refrigerator space and so on.......You can make prints to your hearts content any day any time, just pull out your Gelli Gel Plate available at AlteredPages


We all know that we have best intentions to create art.   And I know I have said no less than 100 times, I can do that!   And then never get around to it due to the mess or the supplies needed - NOT NOW, it's ready to go when you are!    See the video which shows the easy use and cleanup too!  

Get yours NOW, they are flying off the shelf!

  1. can't the gelatin be remelted? I mean, I understand the point you are making w/ the ease of the plates but I thought geatin was 'remeltable'(is that even a word?)

    1. It can be melted, but it still deteriorates,cracks with use and is such a mess too. To make it you invest money & a good bit of time. Why deal with the aggravation - it would be like searching through an encyclopedia instead of instantly looking on the internet. I have nothing against the process, it is simply so convenient giving you more time to create.

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
