Valentine Gelli Print Art

Valentine's Day is also my anniversary.....26 years!

So, in honor of such a very, very long time, I did a little gelli art.

I started with 2, pre-gessoed, panel canvases (5" X 7").  Using Tim Holtz Distress Stain in the dabber bottles, I started the background.

Then added a little stenciling and markmaking, with black and white gesso, and Americana - Turquoise

Grabbed some collage papers from a Shawn Petite collage pak.

Cut some hearts and strips from my gelli prints and adhered with Liquitex Matte Medium.

Added some little pink hearts, outlined with white Gellyroll pen, then outlined everything with a black charcoal pencil

and, Voila....his and hers Valentine/Anniversary art!

Peace!

Valentine Doodling and a Crocheted Blanket

I've been doodling around with these hearts for a couple days.  That was a lot of hearts to color.  I used Sharpies.  I cut the angels out of a French school book, then attached them to the page with a glue stick.

My anniversary is Valentines Day.  It will be 24 years.  It's gone by so fast.  When I look at pictures of us in the 90's, it's hard to believe how much we have changed.

I just took this blanket out of the dryer and decided to take a picture of it.  This is, probably, my favorite thing that I have crocheted.  It's 100% cotton.  It feels so heavy and soft.  I love the texture.  I used single and double crochet stitches.  It's great when things turn out the way you wanted.  It's also great when I actually finish a crochet project.  I have plastic containers full of semi-complete afghans, bathing suits, sweaters, shrugs, socks.  You name it - I have it, partially crocheted!

Peace,
