Jute Fibers Resist Post Cards

This post card started with a rose and 

yellow overall background.

The purple acrylic was a second 

layer over which jute fibers 

were spread as a resist.

If you want the fiber resist pattern to have

color, start with paper that already has a

layer of acrylic paint, usually a lighter color.

Then apply another color to the Gelli Plate,

add jute fibers, and lift off your pattern..

Purple and pink acrylic paints 

were spread over the Gelli Plate 

to make the background for this second card,

with jute fibers as a resist.

If you want the fiber resist pattern

to appear white, start with white paper.

Cover the Gelli Plate with paint,

then add your jute fibers 

and lift off the print.
