Gel Press Prints - Fields of Gold

Here's my new "Just Gellin" video!!

I did a collage landscape.  Last night I heard Sting's Fields of Gold and, immediately thought....get out the Gel Press plate and make some gold-ish gel prints.  I used some metallic paint, along with my regular acrylic paints.

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!

Playing around with Gelli Plates Again

I really love the Gelli Arts gelatin plate for monoprinting.  It is so easy and it's really simple to clean up. Inexpensive craft paint works the best.  The prints make great collage paper or backgrounds.

Here are a few that I did this afternoon.

I used a wood graining tool on these two!

Also, here's a painting that I did in my art journal some time ago.  I was flipping thru today and I had forgotten all about this one.  I touched the trees up a bit.  This is a little dark for me.

This is the Gelli plate that I use - the 8X10.
