Alternative Mark-Making Mono-Printing and Gelli Printing
Monoprinting means to make a one of a kind print using a plate of some sort. There are many ways to produce a monoprint. Stencils, gelli prints and acrylic/plexi plates are a few of the options for creating unique monoprints. Monoprints can be representational or abstract. Often they can be combined with other journaling techniques like image transfer. Vegetable and fruit prints are another form of monoprinting.
"Known as the most painterly method among the printmaking techniques, a monoprint is a non editionable kind of print and is essentially a printed painting.The characteristic of this method is that no two prints are alike. However, images can be similar, but editioning is not possible. The true appeal of the monotype lies in the unique translucency that creates a quality of light very different from a painting on paper or a print, and the beauty of this media is also in its spontaneity and its combination of printmaking, painting and drawing mediums." from MONOPRINTING.Com website
Gelli prints are a type of soft plate made from gelatin. They allow for printing without a press.
