Learning lots while having lots of fun! Learning about varying opacities of different brands of acrylic inks, printing substrates (I am really liking brown wrapping paper, but deli paper is easy and cheap and will be easy to punch, cut, tear and layer), how to think in reverse so that what you want to happen, happens, how to over-print to save a not-happy print, over-stencilling, etc. So. Much. Fun.

ReplyDeletebut really {giggle} you are just gonna have to post more then a once or 4 times a year. I learned that, ok so I'm still learning that.
Now let's see what you make with your prints

What gorgeous prints!
ReplyDeleteall beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAh, thanks, all of you! I will do my best, Jamie Lynn, to post more often. I love doing mono-printing with my Gelli plates!
ReplyDeleteLove these prints - they're VERY rich!
ReplyDeleteWOW!! Great prints! I just bought a Gelli plate and just found your page for inspiration! Thanks for posting all your gorgeous pages!! I like seeing what someone is doing with the prints afterwards too! Your books look like they're going to be really fun to look at as well.
ReplyDeleteI just learned about people printing on deli paper, too. Would you mind sharing where you buy yours or what kind you get?
Hi Shay--Thank you for your kind comments! I went to a restaurant supply store. They had several kinds. The only thing I would say is that if you have a choice, get the kind that doesn't have a fold in it. Mine does and it's ok, but flat would be better. Thicker would be better too. If you have a choice between thicker or thinner, get thicker. Then it would be less likely to buckle if you cut it up and glue it down.
