Going Round and Round While Gelli Printing

Video showing different ways you can use a round Gelli Plate as both a mask and for printing! Join me for a Colorful Gelli Print Party!

 

I went round and round for this month’s Colorful Gelli Print Party!  And that is a great thing!  Why? Because it was so much fun to play with the 4″ round Gelli Plate.

While playing around…who should show up? But a child!  Makes sense since I felt like a little kid myself! And he needs a name…

I might have been playing but I sure learned new ways to use a Gelli Plate!

Watch New Ways I’m Using a Round Gelli Plate on YouTube.

The Gelli Plate was my mask in so many ways!  I stink at making perfect circles all on my own.  But this time I had help and it made it so much easier.

This little guy showed up, but he needs a name!  I have been stumped for some reason, so I’d love to know what you’re thinking he should be called!

    Oliver but Ollie as a nickname since Oliver is a big name for such a little guy. He makes me me smile…

    Your little boy is so cute. You could game him, Gerry, the Gelli Print Boy.

    Wow, first aha moment while watching, love that you painted around the plate before removing! Awesome idea.
    Name for your little guy – Ball Boy, as I felt like he looks like a tennis ball. 🙂

    Fun video thanks for sharing.

    Carolyn, it’s pure pleasure to watch you create! I’ve seen a lot of fun being had with that little Gelli plate and yours fits that playtime just perfectly as well! I do believe he’s a “Billie Bob” 🙂

  • Rae Lynn Reffruschinni April 1, 2015, 1:03 pm

    I think he should be called Oh-oh.

  • md April 1, 2015, 3:09 pm

    I like BOn for his name

    • md April 1, 2015, 3:11 pm

      oops…Bob.

  • Kathy Gledsdale April 1, 2015, 3:33 pm

    What fun he is. No question on the name he has to be Mr Arty Ooops!

  • Jean Marmo April 1, 2015, 6:44 pm

    Webster Wordsworth!

  • Kathi April 5, 2015, 3:15 pm

    I think his name should be Rollo. I don’t know why he just looks like a Rollo.

  • Liz Lumsden April 5, 2015, 10:04 pm

    He reminds me of a toy I got my dogs one Christmas, it is a Mr. Bill but we call it Mr. Oh No because when you squeeze him, that is what he says. LOL!

  • Dana Moore April 10, 2015, 1:35 am

    This is Arnold, we call him Arnie for short. Everyone likes him and he is our lawn boy, paper boy a jack of all trades.

  • Meredith M April 21, 2015, 11:57 am

    I think his name is Oopsie. He has that “oops” expression on his face — not upset, just surprised and thinking of a way to use the new opportunity. And look, his buttons spell OOPS! At least, I see O, O, and the top of a P.
