gelli plate

Hit Walmart while I was out yesterday.  Needed some tone on tone spring colors.  I get excited just looking at this picture!  I do have to say that it is shameful that I bought even MORE paint.  After going through my stash I realize that I have have a art supply buying problem.  Sickness for sure.  But, can't wait to print!

My husband drove me to the other side of the city, over a hundred miles round trip so I could pick up a REAL gelli plate.  Found the ranger archival ink in some new fun colors.  The women that owns my favorite scrapbooking store cut me the dot stencil while I shopped.   I have not had so much fun crafting in years.  The gelli plate is great.

BBQ in the blizzard

My husband grills all winter long.  Even if he has to get the snow shovel out.  

Snow cushions.

gelli print journal page

I had such a blast printing with my knox gelatine plate during the blizzard!  

I gathered many papers to print with and really like the prints that came from packing paper.  Funny how things like that turn out.  Tells me I need to experiment more.

Thought this page was a disaster after adding gold.  But found myself choosing the prints I thought were failures yesterday for my first journal page.  Hmmm?

This plate is history.  Only got two uses out of it.  I am going to get my grandson to help me make a new one this weekend so he can experience the JOY of printing!
