Rayna class

Yesterday was the first of a 5 day class with Rayna Gillman at our local quilt shop The Quilters Studio in Newbury Park. We started the morning off with gelatin prints which I have tried before but never liked.

Here's Rayna painting away on the mold I made for her. Unfortunately, I don't follow directions well, and I doubled the amount of water in the recipe, so Rayna and I had molds that cracked right away, instead of well into the day!
Here she is appling paint to the jello,

And here she is pulling the print off. I'm liking this method a lot better now that I've seen it done correctly.

Rayna is the messiest teacher I've ever taken a class with (including you Kerr) and it is really very fun to just throw the fabric around, glop paint all over and make a big mess (I'm still wearing my gloves though!)
