It’s the first of the month and that means Gelli® printing fun with the Colorful Gelli® Print Party! I’m taking Dyluions Paints and various texture making tools to turn a white box into a colorful box…you know how I am about white space. In the video, you’ll see how I play around and create textures and patterns on the round Gelli Plate®.
Watch Gelli Printing with Dylusions Paints on YouTube.
I use a twisty texture tool and you can see how to make one of your own in this video. That hotel shampoo bottle isn’t the only hotel toiletry I’ve used on a Gelli® Plate. You can see what I did in this video.
Supplies Used:
Here’s the art journal page page I made while cleaning off the plate between prints. Can’t wait to play around and see what these pages become. I’ll definitely share what they become.
In Person Gelli Printing® Play Workshop
Want to come and play in person with me as we explore all sorts of ways to create prints as we play with all sorts of supplies I’m bringing. You just need the basics (and actually, I even have a few plates that can be borrowed if you are brand new to this!)
I’ll be teaching at the Arts Alliance September 12, 2015 in Mason, OH. Find all the details and information here.

A big thanks to Somerset Studio Gallery for sharing some of my Growth Journal. What’s that? It’s where I try out all sorts of things and see what happens. And yes…there is even brown happening in there. I am over the moon honored to be in here with so many talented artists!
Find out all my secrets…
I had the pleasure recently of talking with Sue at Irreversibly Moi. I think it is absolutely hilarious how my mind gets totally stuck some days. She asked me one very hard question that I just couldn’t pull the answer out of my head. What was the question? Nothing to do with art or creativity. It was all about my favorite tv shows. We also talked about how hard it is to follow rules…I know you’re shocked I have a hard time with rules…
Rumor has it there is a giveaway for a free spot in Stencil Play too…
