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.
