This week I'm using Vege-gel to make a simple printing plate and then using it to make an array of beautiful printed papers for collage using simple tools, leaves and found objects. I find this vegetarian gelatin substitute makes a soft plate that you have to be careful with, but it does produce detailed prints, it sets in minutes, can be easily melted and reformed if it breaks and lasts for a few days without needing refrigeration.
I worked out how much vege-gel I could use (and I'm using Dr Oetker here) by trial and error and can't provide a recipe for you to use if you're using a different kind of gelatin or gelatin substitute but I suggest getting a few packets to try, follow the manufacturer's instructions but vary them to give yourself a thicker consistency. Please stay safe when using heat sources and unknown ingredients!
