So I make a lot of Gelli Plate Packing tape.  I just love this as a way to clean my plate when I have finished a gelli printing session.  (who am I kidding, I don’t actually clean my plate, lol.  I really like to just make the tape).  So during a class I was teaching on Mono Printing I had the idea to see if I could stamp on the gelli plate with ink rather than paint and see if I could lift it off with the packing tape.  Well I tried it and it worked.

Here are two pieces that have done using this process.  Sorry for the glare it is not easy to get a photo of the shiny tape.

and a close up of the skeleton.

If you are interested in the process you can find the original gelli plate packing tape transfer video here: Gelli Arts Youtube

I uploaded a new video to You Tube and it shows this technique.

You can watch the process here
