This journal page brought out my inner child which led to the lost teeth memories. Granted, my inner child is not buried too deeply. Especially since my inner child has been playing around getting everything ready for A Colorful Workshop: Gelli Printing! It starts April 1st. Lots are signed up to play. Are you?
These were scraps from other projects. I glued them down without knowing where it was going. Little did I know where it would go!
The paint lids stencil by Dina Wakely adds color but still leaves plenty of open space.
Julie Balzer’s Blazonry stencil adds bold sections of rich color.
Who would have known when I was gluing that ripped bit of paper down it would end up looking like a tooth brush on a giant tooth…
The dictionary page actually had this word at the top- a guide word. Couldn’t argue with that- it was playtime in the studio!
I loved how the yellow and orange blended. I would like to think it is because I am uber talented but the reality is the right tools make a difference. (The Catalyst tools are so easy to use too!)
This is where the video stopped. I thought it was finished but no. It kept nagging at me for a title- so I added “lost teeth” with a stabilo pencil.
Welcome to the March Colorful Gelli Print Party! A Gelli Plate , Crafter’s Workshop Stencils, and Amsterdam paint – what else could make me this happy? Wearing these at Art is You in Nashville!
I’m demystifying the Gelli Plate in this 5 week workshop. My layers are not random but purposeful and playful. I have my reasons for why I print what I print. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I will bring you techniques you can use. You will be looking over my shoulder and you will know the reasons why I make the choices I make so you can print and play with confidence.
A sampling of what you will learn in this workshop:
how color theory applies to the Gelli printing
how to get subtle or bold effects when you want where you want
how to use more than just paint on the Gelli Plate
building a composition right on the Gelli Plate
how to use the prints in a variety of mixed media projects
how to be free and experience all the joy in playing with the Gelli Plate!
and so much more!

Participate as many times as you want- just be sure it relates to the Gelli Plate. If you notice your link deleted it is because it didn’t have a thing to do with the Gelli plate and that is what we’re celebrating here!
A question I am frequently asked is, “What can you do with all the Gelli print papers you make?” My answer is what can’t you do with a Gelli Print? Any way you use paper you can use a Gelli print. Here are just some of the great Gelli creations that have been linked up to A Colorful Gelli Print Party. You can check out all of February’s printy fun here. The next party starts on Friday! And there’s a giveaway for March’s party!
Want more ideas of what to make with a Gelli Print? A Colorful Workshop: Gelli Printing will be full of printing techniques but it will also include ideas for how to use those fabulous prints in projects! You can get all the details here.
To the 750+ in A Colorful Workshop: Use Your Words the letter stencil is back in stock here! Not sure how many Scott has or how long they will last.
