gelli prints

Tried some blue on the orange.  Not thrilled.

I like this one better.

Added the acrylic rings in green.  Still think I should find some black and see how that tones down the orange.

gelli prints

This is my favorite print of the session.  I used a heavy body pink over a thin yellow background.  I used very little yellow paint and pressed a texture plate to create the first layer.  All were printed onto deli paper. 

Combing fun.  Skip the scrapbook store and go to Home Depot for stylus tools.  Martha had a set with several for only 6.99.  I paid that for one at my favorite store.  Ouch.  I also drove 30 miles round trip. 

Foam stamps.  I carved the sea shell design on a take out piece of foam.  

Entire kitchen floor last night.  I don't know why I used the orange and yellow together.  Not my favorite color combo.  They hurt my eyes.  Maybe I need to print some black on those backgrounds.  Love the blues and purples!

My collection of stylus tools and other items I use for texture.  After choosing only one I got busy collecting cheap items I could use.  They all work and I LOVE the fossils.

There is a really cool gelli print under all the messed up part...

I spent weeks trying to paint my view and finally had to print a picture to make it happen.  Why can't I paint from nature without the photo?

Wicked witch of the south

I have spent the last three days creating this witch and I'm so sick of her I can't even tell you.  My back hurts and that witch doesn't care.  All she cares about is if I have her boobs perfect and the chocolate is close enough that she can reach it.

Thankfully my husband came to the rescue last night and gave her a backbone and a neck.  (He doesn't like me mentioning "no neck", his ex.) I had her looking like a linebacker with a spine of steel.  Not to mention her double DD's.  She was really out of proportion.  He also came up with the curly toe idea.  Brilliant!

Even though she is a two faced witch, I brought out some of my creepy friends to keep her company.  I think they can hold their own with her.  

I warned them...

Logan's Frank White zombie is watching the game with Grandpa.  Go Chiefs!

Boo!

Gelli print greeting cards

Utilized my gelli prints on white card stock to make some birthday cards.  I purposely left the edge showing because I thought it made them more interesting.  Let's hope my friends feel the same.  

Used my coluzzel template and deli paper gelli prints to make the envelopes.  What a perfect weight.

More gelli printing

I've been watching Patti Tolley Parrish on ustream.  She did a video on these foam stamps so I had to try it.  Thanks for the inspiration Patti!

My favorite.

scarf

You cannot tell in the photos but most every other row is metallic gold thread.  Looks really pretty in person because there is a gold thread running through the material. 

Here a shot with the Yorkie stairs.  I bought these at big lots years ago.  Wish I would have bought more.  They have been on the patio, porch and now using them in the bedroom.
