In honor of today's holiday, I'd like to share my latest experiments with the
Gelli print pad (i.e. the modern twist on homemade gelatin plates for monoprinting). The
Gelli website & blog
http://www.gelliarts.com/ continue to add tutorials showing new ways to use their product, and this one was taken from their blog post,
Gelli Transfer Prints, and
Gilding the Gelli.
I didn't have cold laminating film on hand, so I used cheap-o packing tape to get this result:

looks the best and you see the transparency!) |

| And a final one. | | | |
I have a few ideas percolating for this. What do YOU think?
I think that these are all lovely - I really must find time to explore gelli printing. Every example I see seems to offer something special that other methods don't give...
ReplyDeleteThese are absolutely fabulously wonderfully beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors and the contrast between darks & lights, soft edged fuzzier shapes with crisp defined shapes. The small color "pops" on the top layer unify the whole design. I always knew you were an artist at heart Joanna. Thanks for including me in your blog.
