Video tutorial using a 6 x 6 Gelli Plate  by Carolyn Dube for A Colorful Gelli Print Party

 

Join me for a Colorful Gelli Print Party!

Cue the noisemakers!  Throw the confetti! It’s 2014 and time for January’s Colorful Gelli Print Party!  2013 was an amazing year and 2014 will be even better!  New to the party? You can see all of the Colorful Gelli Print Parties here.

I’m playing with the brayer on the Gelli Plate for the Party this month as I make a modern print.  In the video I tell you what I see in these shapes.  I’d love to know what you see in the prints – let  me know in the comments!

You can watch Using a 6 x6 Gelli Plate to Make Modern Prints on YouTube here.

Here’s the scrap paper that I cleaned the brayer off on…it was just scrap paper when I started and now I can’t wait to use it in something – even with the piece cut out of it.

Here’s the paper made with multiple pulls.  The 6×6 Gelli Plate can make papers any size!  This is so quick and easy – just 5 minutes and I have 3 unique papers!

 

 

I'm Teaching at Art Is You!

On January 1st, Art Is You registration is live!  I’ll be teaching at Stamford this year with my workshop, Meet the Crazies. I’ll be back on Sunday with a video about the workshop so be sure to stop back!

 

 

Now it is your turn to play and inspire others!

  • Link to a specific blog post or flickr page or YouTube video or other source that way people can easily find your Gelli goodness.
  • Add a link back to the party so others can join us too!  
  • Leave a comment on at least 2 other links from the party.  You know how  comments encourage  creative types!
  • Participate as many times as you want- just be sure it relates to the Gelli Plate.

Video tutorial using Dylusions spray inks and a stencil by Carolyn Dube

A bit of Dylusions spray inks and a stencil, Use Your Words, brought a touch color to my art journal.  In the video, you’ll see how I used the back of the stencil to get these words onto my page.  One of the great things about Dylusions is how it reacts to water and did I ever use that to my advantage to get the color on this page!

This isn’t just any old art journal page…it’s an Artsy Fartsy art journal page!  I’m playing with Maria McGuire and my stencil, Use Your Words.  What’s Artsy Fartsy?  It’s a way that Maria and I have some creative time together even though we live miles and miles apart.  She’s been secretly using the stencil too and I have no idea what she’s made as I write this post.  I don’t get to see or hear about what she’s making until it goes live on her blog.  As soon as I publish this I am off to see what she made here.

You can watch Artsy Fartsy art journal play with spray ink and a stencil on YouTube here.

You can find out more about our Artsy Fartsy adventures here and you can search for past Artsy Fartsy posts by using the Categories drop down menu over at the bottom of the sidebar.

Supplies used:

Use Your Words Stencil from StencilGirl Products
