It was just going to be a few prints. That’s what I told myself. And then it happened. I couldn’t stop. I didn’t want to stop! All I had planned to do was get things packed for my upcoming workshop, Gelli® Printing Easy as 1-2-3 in Mason, Ohio. Just thinking about the 3 steps to making amazing prints we’re going to be doing on Sept. 12th was too tempting for me…I had to play with the rainbow!
Sometimes I get a little over excited about color and flood the plate with an abundance of paint. So much that my brayer was super juicy! A mistake? Absolutely not! It’s a OOPS and I loved the look of the prints so much I did it again and again!
Even with all this paint, I didn’t make mud. If you’d like to see how, I’ve got a video about mixing colors on the Gelli Plate® here along with other helpful info about getting started with Gelli printing®.
The rainbow brings me happiness so I made rainbow prints…a lot of prints! What stencil did I use? It’s my Wonky Eyes stencil I designed for StencilGirl. What am I going to do with all these prints? Well, I was supposed to be getting things ready for my upcoming workshop so I think I’ll use them to create a little something for each student.
In the greater Cincinnati area and want to explore fun ways to play with the Gelli® Plate? Join me at the Arts Alliance on September 12th. Just a few spots left. Hope to see you there!

So it turns out when a product comes with a lid on it, you should put said lid back on when finished using it. You guessed it…I did not do that and shockingly it dried out! So dried out that absolutely no artful CPR in the world was going to save it.
