Carmela, this is lovely. Yes the ghost prints are often more interesting than the first. Were the inks added to the plate or after you pulled the print? Great direction you're going in!
I am continuing to experiment with the Gelliarts.com plate. I used a stencil in this one--but it is the 'ghost' of the original print. The stencil was made from a sketch of trees trunks at Point Reyes National Seashore. I added inks for more color and glued on a piece of the original print on the left side as contrast/design elements.
Thanks. Litho is a dying technique. Was used to illustrate newspapers BEFORE photo existed. The stones were prepared and treated for printing by skilled workers. The artist just "did his thing on the prepared stone. I have an historical manual of the technique from early 1900 (found on a flea market) and worked with teachers who still knew the technique. It is all about finding the right teacher and the right books. Becoming more and more difficult in an age with graphics created by computers. We gain something by loosing precious other things.
OOh, I haven't checked out this board for awhile, great activity! I love Guido's response to my (much "sloppier" ) Gelli-print, and all the great lithos.
The zinc plate and sugar sounds particularly intriguing. Thanks for more inspiration.
Guido--Wonderful series of images using litho techniques--don't see these historic media techniques very often. Thanks!
