Project by Mary L. Taylor from Marshfield, Mass.
	alternative design

Mary Taylor learned how to create gelatin image blocks through a high school art teacher who offered workshops on this technique. It's a welcome departure from her day job of working with computers and computer printers. Now, Taylor provides workshops in this technique once a year in her home. Today, she will be making an accordion book full of her own gelatin monoprints.
