Proof I Should Never Clean Thanks to a Mixed Media Card

An index card turns into a mixed media card

This all started by cleaning off my paintbrush.  On an index card.  And then letting it sit on my counter for days (okay weeks – I don’t like to clean…) And then all the sudden, out of the blue it became a card.  And very quickly too!

A piece of paper cut in sloppy scallops and glued to the painty index card.

A quick burst of blue through a stencil by Andrea Matus DeMeng and now the card is coming to life.

A little more blue to the blue birds.  You can never have too much blue in my opinion…

 

 

 

 

Some pops of color with layers of painted book text and scraps of paper and these scraps on the counter all working together have become a quick mixed media card.  And some proof that there is a great benefit to not cleaning…as if I needed any more fuel for my mission to avoid cleaning…An index card turns into a mixed media card

Going Round and Round While Gelli Printing

Video showing different ways you can use a round Gelli Plate as both a mask and for printing! Join me for a Colorful Gelli Print Party!

 

I went round and round for this month’s Colorful Gelli Print Party!  And that is a great thing!  Why? Because it was so much fun to play with the 4″ round Gelli Plate.

While playing around…who should show up? But a child!  Makes sense since I felt like a little kid myself! And he needs a name…

I might have been playing but I sure learned new ways to use a Gelli Plate!

Watch New Ways I’m Using a Round Gelli Plate on YouTube.

The Gelli Plate was my mask in so many ways!  I stink at making perfect circles all on my own.  But this time I had help and it made it so much easier.

This little guy showed up, but he needs a name!  I have been stumped for some reason, so I’d love to know what you’re thinking he should be called!
