So, I want to go bigger than the largest Gelli plate so decided to try plexiglass. I bought an 18x24 piece from the hardware store and used my Akua inks. The Akua inks are supposed to stay wet until they are applied to paper but interestingly enough that didn't seem to be the case. It also came out spotty as you can see from my below prints. Golden Paints performed better so researching. I also have to say I like the give in the Gelli plate better too so I may have to get a really large jelly or cake pan and make my own. Wonder how large I can go? I'll keep you posted but if anyone knows let me know.

fun!
I made a gelatin plate in a jelly roll pan once. It didn't have to be really thick because I didn't take it out of the pan. I could print with the plate still in the pan. I really liked doing it that way. It's better if the pan is not warped from cooking in it!
