Mono-printing E-Course

Very excited to be doing a 6 week online mono-printing workshop with Linda Germain from America, at the moment.  Just started and so far have made my "geli plate" and today I got some clear boards to use for the printing and to sit the geli plate on.  Here is a picture of the geli plate.  I had to reconstitute the geli plate last night as the first attempt was too dense.  More water and heat fixed it as well as using the muslin cloth to hold back the fine bubbles/froth from clouding the mix. 
Tonight I will set up my studio space and do some printing tomorrow as there are a lot of bugs at night at our house and I don't want to include them in my prints!  Lighting is best in the day also.  I will post up some trial prints and see how it develops over the next 6 weeks.  I am getting lots of great ideas for journal covers and cards etc.
