using jello to print fabric?

Okay, so it’s not really Jell-o, but gelatin makes a really cool surface to create mono-prints on fabric.
I love painting & printing my own fabric for creating fiber art – it’s so much fun to play around with different techniques and come up with something unique.
I’ve done mono-printing with glass sheets before, but gelatin makes an interesting surface too. All you need to do is mix up some extra-strength gelatin (I think the recommended amount is 4 packages of gelatin to 2 cups of water). Pour it into a large tray and let it set for several days in your fridge to cure.

Interesting idea, Chloe. I’ll have to mention it to my daughter. I’ll also tell my Quilting and Patchwork readers about this post.
