In case it is not totally obvious, I am having a great time playing with paint and papers, stamps and prints and making collages. Such discoveries. I tried for a neutral base with just a little color, of which yellow became the necessary focus. Yay yellow!
And in the mail today I received two little gel press plates, 5x7" and 3x5", which I got half price from Joann.com. I already have the big Gelli plate which is 12x14"and makes big mono-prints. But sometimes one wants to just have smaller formats...so I ordered these.

I'll be playing with these soon as I can clear off my desk. ha!

This would be a great quilt design!
ReplyDeleteWhat are gel press plates used for?
ReplyDeleteHere's a short video to show a bit of how you might use a gelli plate: https://youtu.be/G9_RbwLuzXs
DeleteWow. I had no idea this stuff existed. I haven't done prints in 50 years. Did a wood block in high school and got some dyes that developed in the sun and printed fabric for a dress. But the wood block carving kinda put me off the process and I never did it again. I did a small linoleum block for home made Christmas cards a few years later and that was it. If this had existed I think I would have pursued it. Thanks for the link.
