gelli prints

I printed this picture of a bird from the internet onto transparency film. 

I cut it out with my heat tool to make a stencil.  I really like the silhouette.

Then I took a sharpie and drew a bunch of poppy pods and cut them also.  I like the mask more than the stencil.

Printed with black acrylic paint onto some previous prints using the masks.  LOVE it!  I watched someone's video using just black.  Such a great idea for those gelli prints gone bad.

Found this Ivory soap at a sale yesterday.  One dollar a bar.  The paper is in really great shape considering the 1945 date on the back.  Love this because my husband works for the P & G soap plant here in town.
