The sun was in that wonderful late afternoon golden glow phase, the birds were singing, and I was playing outdoors. Springtime is my goldilocks time outdoors, not too hot & not many bugs. It’s just right for play.
A basket of fun was put together quickly, of what was on my counter, with absolutely no clear plan. A plan didn’t matter but what did matter was getting out there instead of gathering the “perfect” supplies.
As the afternoon was coming to a close…I took a few photos of the play. You can see how I made those fancy circle making pattern tools in the basket above for the Gel Press plate here.
The layers built up as I played with the rainbow, a gel plate, and stencils.
What will I do with the papers I printed? These will be cut up with some areas becoming art journal pages, some becoming quick cards, and others for collage.
What I will use them for isn’t the most important part to me. The most important part is that I spent some time playing. Hearing the birds chirp as I did it was a glorious bonus!
Here are the supplies I used. Some of these links are affiliate links which means I get a small percentage. It doesn’t cost you anything extra and it helps keep the free tutorials coming!
So inspiring! I need to get a basket together and do this!
So fun and our weather is like that right now. got to mow the lawn first though! xox
What a great way to spend part of your day outdoors! I am definitely doing this in the fall when its cooler. You use your old paint/medium lids as a palette? Genius!!
Enjoyed basking in the afternoon sun by reading your post tonight. Not knowing what you will do with the results of the printing is such a joy. I love that! It’s fun to pull out a piece that you have made long ago and find just the right spot for it.
