Happy Creative Heart Monday to all of you
creative hearts out there!!
This week I started out by using all of the gel print scraps. I use my gel prints for lots and lots of stuff, and I just can't throw away, even the tiniest scrap. Does that make me a "gel print hoarder"? Perhaps. I made these prints on my Gel Press Mono-Printing Plate. As I've mentioned before, I usually make copies of the prints that I love, and use the copies in my collage.
As I mentioned at the beginning of the video......I had some issues. I don't know why, but my products just didn't want to work with me on this project. On many other faces, I start out with a basecoat of Ceramcoat Paint. It's sort of like craft paint....tiny bottle,....inexpensive. It, usually provides a really nice base for the Prismacolor pencils. On this one, it just gave me a hard time. The paint was too shiny/slick....the pencils just wouldn't work. The only thing that I can think of is that I did not gesso the paper first. However, I don't know why that would matter because I still would have been using the pencils over the paint. Maybe my paint is getting to old. I will get to the bottom of this and let you know.
Have a wonderful Monday and an, even, greater week!!
Peace!
