Gelli Plate Background Journal Page

This was my third and final sample for the Golden shows on Hochanda on Friday.  It was the result of experimentation with the Golden Hi Flow Acrylics on a large Gelli plate.

Gelli Plate Experiments

I decided it was time to get out my gelli plate after ages and try some quick pulls using a new stencil.  Not all my attempts were successful, but I won't be throwing anything away.  I used my 8" x 10" Gelli Arts printing plate throughout, together with one of the new A5 stencils from Claritystamp (Be Still and Listen).  It is also available in A4.  
I grabbed a random selection of paints and paint colours and the Speedball brayer that I keep separate for using with paint and made a start.  For the first print, I spread some Raspberry Adirondack paint over the plate, followed by Citrus.  I then laid the stencil face down so that you can see the words reading backwards and pulled a quick print onto copy paper.

JJJ and Mindful Art Challenge 13: Red, Green, Blue and Buttons

This page was created for challenge 13 on Junk Journals Junkies and Mindful Art on Facebook; the prompt given was red, green, blue, buttons.  There was also an art prompt (peacocks), but I chose to disregard that and focus on the colour palette and theme.

Thanks and au revoir!

This is the last of the leavers' cards which I made this summer.  This colleague was only with us for a year on a short term contract, but she worked really hard and will be missed.  As she taught mainly maths. I used a numerical background; however she halped out with French and numerous other subjects too!

To Sir, With Love!

This card was made for all my colleagues to sign for an esteemed colleague who retired this year; he will be greatly missed!  The card was inspired by one in the Visible Image gallery by Nicky Gilburt.
