For this month’s Colorful Gelli Print Party I’m taking some plain ornaments from boring to rainbow thanks to the Gelli Plate! In just a few minutes and in only 2 layers, it looks like there was a lot more work put into these sleds I found buried in the back of a closet.
I have plenty of stuff I’ve accumulated over the years…and I have decided it is time to use it or lose it (donation donation donation!). When I started I wasn’t sure how these were going to turn out but I had nothing to lose. These ornaments have been in a closet at least 10 years- it was time to do something with them! Do you have anything like that in your house?
Playing always seems to offer me wonderful surprises, and today is no exception! Check out the video to see how they made the print below!
You never know what is going to happen when playing with a Gelli Plate! This print was a very happy surprise!
Want more Gelli Plate inspiration? Check out just some of what was shared in the last month over in the Google+ community, A Colorful Playground. There’s Maria Green with an amazing embedded image, Laura Bush is collaging with her prints, Tami Howse is putting gelli printed tissue onto candles, Pam Wildeboer is creating art journal pages, and so much more! And while you’re there – share what you’ve been making! New to Google+? No problem! We’re all learning that together.
Thank you doesn’t begin to cover what I feel from my head to my toes. I am so grateful for each and every one of you!
I’ve got the 6 winners here and I’m about to get my turkey dinner ready for Thanksgiving here in the US. During the meal my family focuses on what we’re grateful for in our lives. One of the things I will be sharing during this meal is how grateful I am for the support, the encouragement, and the friendships I have in my life thanks to all of you.
Enough of my babbling…here are the randomly selected winners! If your name is here please email me at acolorfuljourney (at) gmail (dot) com with your snail mail address so I can get this out in the mail to you ASAP!

I’ve got a new video today over at CreateMixedMedia.com for my latest guest post. This video was filmed a few months ago. Why so long? Because I had to send off my art journal page in time to the great people at Cloth Papers Scissors to be included in their 10th anniversary issue!
The article, called Roll the Dice, is all about using artful dice to stop negative chatter in my head. That negative voice can squash creativity so quickly and bring my play to a halt.
And yes…there is an Oops. I’m playing with a variety of supplies but the napkin had an almost unavoidable (for me at least) moment which I totally embraced. But as much as my heart wanted to embrace it the other napkin didn’t. For once, it didn’t do what it usually did! Check out the video over at CreateMixedMedia and see the misbehaving napkin!
