I have been working with a gelli plate, this is about 1/2 " thick clear rubberised plate that can be used for mono printing and provides a much cleaner and sharper image. I began with by using a home-made one made with gelatine & glycerin which works to a degree and and with these I printed lots of surfaces and then made collages from them
I decided to buy one as a birthday present to myself and have been using it at the studio. I wasn't entirely convinced of the success of the images. However towards the end of the day I began to discover that images were emerging and developed better when worked back into or collaged. I was quite pleased with these three pieces.
