Gelli printing

 

Yesterday after putting away the tree and the Santas, and getting out snow shoeing, I got the thought that I'd like to do a little journal work to relax. Well, I brought out my 'art cart' and rooted out the Gelli. Then I decided I might as well print on some fabric. I got a few journal pages done by cleaning off the brayer.

Maybe it was the beauty of the day along with the pressure of a date for my shoulder surgery less than two weeks away that got me going.     I couldn't resist doing a few prints with the ferns and Queen Anne's lace that I picked last summer.  

The ghost prints are pretty too.

I wanted to try a couple using some of my new thermofax screens and feather motifs.

The journal pages are pretty good too. Surprising, as I simply wiped paint on or brayered the paint onto journal pages to clean it. This page was done by tearing and collaging the deli paper that I used to clean off the Gelli onto a small journal page.

In my larger  journal I did a few pages by applying  the brayer with the leftover paint.

In the mail today, I got two more thermofax screens using the same designs I already had done but this time larger.

 

I had to stop and clean everything up. We're getting ready to leave for Prince Edward Island tomorrow to spend the New Years with our new grandson. He was 1 month old yesterday.

I'll wish you a Happy New Years now. See you back here next week.
