Meu marido nunca viajou para o Brasil, mas provavelmente ele vai comigo em 2015. Falo do Brasil quase todos os dias, porque gostei de mais e gosto muito dos brasileiros quem fizeram o meu temp há tão maravilhoso.<br /><br />Eu sou um aposentado professor de arte.CJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11105598015852813723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452863989766768332.post-11603406491459267422014-03-06T19:23:57.990-08:002014-03-06T19:23:57.990-08:00Hi Lucia, I am using a Fabriano watercolor paper, ...Hi Lucia, I am using a Fabriano watercolor paper, 100 lb. It's got a visible grain, with fairly large bumps, which can add to the texture of the image if you're interested in that kind of thing. I prefer a smoother paper but I didn't have any higher quality watercolor paper (140lb cold pressed or something) on hand so I was just using this stuff for these prints.<br /><br />The gelli plate I'm using is commercially manufactured (gelli brand) but you can make your own gelatin plate at home using water and unflavored gelatin - i bet you could find that in Brazil! Google Knox unflavored gelatin. here it is on amazon: www.amazon.com/Knox-Gelatin-Unflavored-8-Ounce/dp/B007Y3HM5C. <br /><br />the nice thing about using gelli or gelatin plates as opposed to just a sheet of glass or a hard surface is that the paper can really press down into the surface and soak everything up. There are subtle nuances with the gelatin that I never get with the glass. plus it's a little strange and fun to play with! good luck!Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12572183461508385106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452863989766768332.post-88090347811401233642014-03-06T16:06:02.117-08:002014-03-06T16:06:02.117-08:00Hi Leah, thanks for posting!

I need to research them.<br />A curiosity: what kind of paper you used in these prints?<br />Thanks a lot for sharing them!Lucia Sasakihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08698589553453660688noreply@blogger.com
