You can’t fail with a Gelli Plate and I can prove it or I should say my husband can prove it! The orange arrows- that is his very first print! He is a wonderful human being but let’s just say that his area of expertise is not art. This video chronicles his very first experiences [...]

Remember mood rings? I thought they were so magical when I was a kid. Well, I think my art journal is my newest mood ring. I was feeling happy, really happy, almost like I was on top of the world. It was a really great day. I grabbed a stack of Gelli Plate printing leftovers [...]
Jack, his magic beans, and the beanstalk all came to play in this art journal page that was sparked by a Gelli print! I’m guesting over at Artists in Blogland today with a video of how this page developed. The beanstalk thing makes perfect sense in the video…well, maybe it just makes sense in my [...]

It has been tough keeping this secret until now…big bite marks on my tongue as I held it when I wanted to share…but now it is ready for the full reveal! My free workshop, Use Your Words, was sparked by the endless creativity I found when creating with an alphabet stencil. Once I had that [...]

The February link party will be open all month for you you share what you’ve Gelli’d and to enjoy some inspiration from [...]

Be sure to stop by and check out what everyone did with this stencil! Diana Trout Seth Apter Corrine Gillman Kristin [...]
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 [...]
