Gelli Print Afternoon Delight

It was rather rainy the other afternoon,

so I dashed out to the studio,

grabbed some paints and my

Gelli Print Plate,

and had a bit of a paint party.

The image above,

and the one below,

were made by using old collagraph plates

I had made years ago.  

These two prints are in my sketchbook.

In the following two images

you can see a bit of progression,

using Carla Sonheim's

'waterycolor' technique,

on a sheet of the paper I made in my

BULLI paper making class.

I think I may be in love with parts of this one!

The next two are also progressions

using my handmade paper

and stencils.

I wasn't happy with how this one was looking:

so, I added a bit more:

I like it better now.

I want to add some stitching to it

And this last one

is just packing paper 

that I was using to clean off my brayer

and my stencils.

I'm not sure,

but I think I like it.

I'm off to Arrowmont today

for my class with Elin Noble.

 I will either be blogging a lot,

or so tired I won't blog at all!

Thanks for dropping by!

PEACE TO YOU!
