Face Over Accidental Background

We can make BIG messes and waste LOTS of paint!  Have no fear......save all of those messes.  Last night, I painted this face over a scrap piece of paper that I used to clean off my roller during a gelli printing session.  It just goes to show that you never know what you are going to get.

I used a Stabilo pencil, watercolor crayons, gesso, and a couple paint pens.  That's it.

Have a wonderful Monday!

Peace.

Handmade Cards

I made a couple cards yesterday, using some papers that I printed on the Gelli Plate.

On this one, I cut out the flower petals and leaves, then collaged them on with gel medium.  I ripped up some handmade paper that I bought a long time ago with the Japanese writing.  Outlined everything with a Pitt pen and added some white gesso circles with the end of a straw.  I added some washi tape at the bottom.

For this one, I just cut three strips from papers that I made earlier.  Printed the word "Love" on the computer, then cut it out and glued it to a scrap of Gelli print.  I used gel medium to attach everything, then added more gel medium to the top.  I also, outlined everything with a black, archival pen.

That's it!

Peace,

Playing with the Gelli Again.

The best thing about gelli printing is that there is, virtually, no cleanup.  When I want to do something....yet....not get too involved...I slap some paint on the Gelli Plate.  Here are some papers that I made to use in collages....and a pic of my table, as proof that I was, actually, working.

Here are some of the, handmade, stamps and masks that I use for texture.

That's it.

Peace!
