gelli plate fun

I think I need to put these paints away and start with a new palette.  The colors look better in person but enough is enough.  

 Spring is finally here and Jane is blooming.  Also another shot of the craft room.  The paisley in the curtain matches the paint in natural light but my camera says no.

easter egg shirt

Looking at this with fresh eyes I'm not even sure I will wear it at home.  Yikes.  I got my chakra's  upside down!  

big fail

I had another big fail with a tshirt.  So glad it wasn't brand new.  I did learn a few things so calling this a learning experience.  All I could think of last night is how I would look just like a easter egg if I wore this out.  HA!  I WILL art in it all day long.  :)

gourds

I've been collecting gourds and it is time to stop.  I have nine here and love them so much they stay out year round.  I usually change my display with the seasons but the gourds anchor everything.  I love the organic feel and colors in them.  The little altar is new.  I've had the idea for a while but haven't found the perfect tray.  This old film can is good, but plan to expand.  The display needs work.

Happy Easter!

Riki loves his little duckie he got for Easter.  

Projects with the little gelli plate

 

I got my little gelli plate out and worked this page really quickly.  So easy to create layers by laying the stencil directly in the journal and stamping with gelli.  I really want to do a t shirt with this technique so I might copy my bird page on my next shirt.  That is what I love about art journaling, no pressure, just play and it might turn out cool.  

New gelli plates!

 We finally got some much needed rain here last night.  The grass really greened up and check out those bleeding hearts behind Riki.  I was trying to get a shot of him with the Easter basket but couldn't catch him.

Went to the post office and picked up my new gelli plates today!  So excited.  I really want a round one also but they didn't have them available at Amazon yet.  I ordered the Japanese Signo Gel pens, it will be interesting to see if they are better.
