Description:

Sometimes you get lucky and are able to pull not only one print, but also a second print, before your paint has dried. These are called "ghost prints", and they are often my favorite prints of all. For this swap we'll be swapping those ghost prints made using the Gelli Arts printing plate or a homemade gelatin plate.

The details:

  • 4 ghost prints for 1 partner.
  • Prints are sender's choice in color, style, and theme, and should be anywhere between 4"x6" and 6"x6" (5"x7" is also fine, just trying to keep these within range to mail in a 6"x9" envelope).
  • Prints are to be made on white paper only to highlight the beauty of the ghost prints themselves. Any plain white paper will do, including cheap white copy paper or white cardstock.
  • Use any monoprint techniques you wish, but please don't add anything extra to the finished print. Whatever techniques you choose to use must all be done on the printing plate itself. We're swapping just prints this time, free of embellishments, doodling, stamping, or anything else added after the print has been pulled. Layering, of course, is fine, as long as it's done on the plate itself.
  • If you'd like, sign the back of your print. It's not required, but could help a partner to distinguish between different people's prints.
  • Include a note with the swap name and your username, and also letting your partner know whether or not you're ok with them using your prints in a future art project.
  • Please send prints you are proud of and that you'd be happy to receive yourself.

Questions are always welcome, either in the comments here or in a PM. I do try to check my swaps for comments fairly often.

Happy printing!
