Finished my latest cast acrylic monotype the other day. Happy with the process becoming more predictable as I understand the materials better. Used a finishing layer of acrylic to stabilize the whole print for transfer to the support this time. The finishing layer also made it look more like glass. I printed the layers of acrylic gel to create the image as in prior acrylic monotypes, but on glass, instead of directly on the paper support, to allow the finishing layer to be poured acrylic. Cutting and adhering the final printed image to the support was more like collage than printing - I guess you could call the last step “skin collé.” (hehe – baaaaad pun)
Oh, and I cant wait to try my next experiment with acrylic gels. I’m going to print digital images on transparent acrylic skins using my ink jet. Does this sound like fun or what?!
HI Rick, those melted crayons really have a wonderful texture, what a neat technique to try…very cool and interesting work!
