Can you use fabric on the Gelli Plate? Absolutely! The white fabric I used was very very affordable, actually might be called cheap. I have used heavier fabrics and they work well also. This is up a few days early – hope no one minds…In the video, I’m using regular acrylic paints on fabric. To [...]

I was running behind schedule. There wasn’t much time. But there was no way I was going to miss out on the fun of trades at Art Is You. Trades are a a little something you trade with other people at the retreat. There are no rules for this which allows each and every person [...]
This was a total accident, an Oops of the best kind, that led to this discovery! As I ran around the house, shouting Eureka, my family just looked at me like I was a crazy woman….But I know you will understand the glee I felt when I realized thatbthe Color Bloom spray ink was sealing PanPastels in my [...]

Welcome to April’s Colorful Gelli Print Party! The packing tape video by Gelli Arts (here) inspired my play today. But, alas, I am patience impaired and did not want to wait for the layers to dry so I played with the tape on the Gelli Plate in a different way. What did I [...]
