Ganesha Stamp collage

I overcame my fears and did his belly.  I also placed a big order at Amazon!  So excited that they have the paint cart from Ikea!  My husband of thirty three years (today) turned his reward points over to me in the form of Amazon gift cards.  What a guy, I think I will keep him.  I have a fude ball pen, stabilo pencil and the six inch circle gelli plate on the way!  So excited.  Oh and some really over priced deli paper.  They have us ladies figured out out and have raised the prices online.  I like the Brown Paper brand better than another kind so paid the inflated price.  I also ordered some rice paper to print on.  All that and a crop-a-dile.  Woo hoo!  

Hope I'm not violating any copyright laws by using the stamps.  I don't plan on selling it, although it would make a great puzzle.

I'm feeling a little nervous and stuck at this halfway point.  Trying to decide how to do the rest of his trunk.

Riki had a really bad spell today so didn't do much until he went to bed.  He went outside and ran until he depleted all his sugar.  It took several hours to get him to come back around.  All that after him eating a four inch toothpick on Tuesday.  I swear I thought he was a goner then.  So stressful to have a seven pound dog with low blood sugar.  

Anyway he is fine now and I got to work on my Ganesha.  Ohm. 

Stormy weather climbing rose

I can tell that my latest gelli prints have inspired new color in the garden.

We added the Rose Canna and Stormy Weather lilac climbing rose last weekend.  I wasn't sure how the pink and orange would look together but it is really pretty.  Very bollywood. I put the seven canna's in the pots along the forty foot bed and the two roses replaced the beautiful honeysuckle that we destroyed.  That thing got aphids on it every year and was so disgusting we got rid of it.  I don't want something out back that we have to put insecticide on, besides the fact I'm afraid those aphids would infest every thing out there.

I worked his helmet right off the page.  Not sure if I'm happy with that section but that will be an easy fix.  Or not.  What do y'all think?

I worked the forehead area last night and it is work!  So far I can still see the elephant.

magnolia journal page with gelli prints

Using a few of my latest gelli prints and matt medium I made a background in my Dylusion journal.  Doodled with gel pen and added the lyrics to my favorite song of the week, Magnolia by J J Cale.  Added some New Orleans elements with stencils and small gelli plate.  It works so well as a stamp or a stamp pad, love it!  I dabbed gesso through the Fleur de lis then added color, wiped it back then added dimension by stamping through a tiny stencil with the small gelli.  So FUN!
