Making my first GLOP for Carbon Transfer Printing today. If I like the final look of the prints (they can be transferred to a variety of surfaces including glass) I might end up doing some of the KANATA images with the process. Will need to make some prints and move on from there.

| The gelatin is hardening now. The next step is adding ink and sugar to the mix. |
 |
| Reheating the hardened gelatin until it is liquid again |
 |
| 60 grams of sugar as a platisizer. |
 |
12 grams of India ink.

Glop finished, with added ink, sugar and a bit of alcohol. Did a video of this but having trouble uploading it.

| A little damned off area for pour. First pour was a mess, as the Glop was too cold and had already hardened too much. Attempt 2 after reheating Glop worked better. |

| Got my first carbon tissue poured (think that is what they are called). It took me 3 tries to get a reasonable pour. #1 the gelatin was too thick and it made a globby mess. #2 after reheating and liquefying the Glob again I poured too much making a bigger mess, every where. #3 I doubled the height of the magnetic damn and this tissue pour seems okay-ish. Will let it dry then make a second. and third. I am still waiting on my order of Potassium Dichromate (sensitizer) so cannot make any prints yet. |
