A Colorful Gelli Print Party

I missed the Gelli print party so much I decided to do it each month in 2013!  On the 1st of each month I’ll have a new Gelli something and the link party will let us all share our prints.  The next Gelli party is coming up on this  Friday, February 1st!  I am so [...]

My Own Private Paper Store thumbnail

A Gelli Plate is just like having your own private paper store. Using old scrapbook papers and dictionary pages with the Gelli Plate I unintentionally created a coordinating set of papers!  These papers sparked my art journal page for Artsy Fartsy. Why did I have my Gelli Plate out?  Because it is time for another [...]

I loved seeing what everyone created on their Gelli Plate and missed it once the party was over.  So I decided that the party should go on!  On the 1st of each month I will have a post dedicated to the Gelli Plate and a link party that will be open all month.  The next [...]

Oops!

Oops has become my favorite word!   As I create I make all sorts of mistakes but I don’t like how harsh “mistake” sounds so I call them “oops”.  A silly word that I can’t take too seriously because really, are any of my art mistakes something to worry about?  NO!  Does worrying about them help [...]

This week has flown by!  Can’t believe this is the last day of the party! Thank you to every party goer for helping me kick off 2013!  It is going to be an amazing year full of color and creativity!   In all the excitement I had neglected my rubber stamps so I brought them to [...]

It’s day 6 of the party and I am not cleaning for it!  I don’t like to clean. I really don’t like to clean.  Just ask my long suffering teens who have to do dishes and sweep and do laundry!  So I find it joyful when I don’t need to clean my Gelli Plate! For [...]

A ping pong ball, a ruler, a bottle of bug spray, a wine glass, packaging from a set of oil pastels?  Yes.  Really.  The ping pong ball was a bit messy but I did like the result.  That is what I used with the Gelli Plate today (and a few other items).  I decided to [...]

It’s day 4 of the party!  So glad you are here!  I’ve been asked what kind of paper I use and it is whatever I have.  In these videos it has been cheap cards stock from the office supply store.  I will use old book pages,scrapbook paper, deli paper, really anything!  The paints I use [...]

  Romance was in the air as I made this journal page! You weren’t expecting romance at A Colorful Gelli Print Party were you…well neither was I!  I just kept staring and staring at these blues – I do love blues.   This is just experimenting around with lines of colors in misc. ribbons and [...]

Welcome to day 2 of A Colorful Gelli Print Party!  My family has come to accept the fact that I have abandoned them for the Gelli Plate this week.  Truthfully, the teenagers are not too upset to be left alone and I wasn’t really going to do much housework this week anyway…   When you [...]
