Gel plate prints

I do love to experiment! It just makes me happy to play around and see what happens. I have experimented with permanent alcohol markers on a gel plate. The top photo is the gel plate. I transferred the ink to fabric using rubbing alcohol and some pressure. It gives an impressionistic quality. I doubt it would work for a highly realistic image but I could be wrong. I am partial to impressionism so that works for me. I have yet to sitch into this but I am certain it will work well. This method does not change the hand of the fabric at all. There is a lot of potential for this! I am linking to http://ninamariesayre.blogspot.com/
