Image Resist Gel Print Journal
The three journals shared below were part of an art exchange between friends. The first step of our project was to make magazine resist image transfers using a Gelli Plate. This was a new technique for all of us & it took trial & error to master the technique. Learn more about the image transfer process via this post and my success with the process here! After we created our prints, we sent them to each other. Our final step was to make something with the prints everyone made and send the result to each other. I took the image transfer prints and and used them to create three art journals; one for Julie, one for Jo, and one for myself. The covers are original image transfer prints. The pages are photo copies of everyone’s image transfer prints. At the bottom is a video about how I created the journals and our mail art exchange. Bonus photos: this blog post shows what Julie and Jo made for me in this exchange.
The video below shares how I put together the Image Resist Gel Print Journals, as well as other mixed media art from the ‘We Love Mail Art’ exchange by Jo Urbani, Julie Welsh and myself.
