I've been doing stuff but not quite with the paintbrush. After Roz's backgrounds and textures class and her small intro into gelli prints I went off that deep end (yes, another deep end). I have been curious about monoprinting and gelli prints are sort of the home version of monoprints. I've been having a great time experimenting with textures and layers and layers and layers. Fun for me is when something looks like crap but I don't have to be disappointed because I can add another layer or two or three. This yellow thing above is about 5 layers of paint or maybe more. I really liked it when it was just yellow layers and then I added the blue and red layers and liked it even more. UPDATE: I just noticed that I had featured the yellow background on my June 26, 2019 blog post.
Just a reminder that
Wake Up and Get to the Sale is what sparked my fascination with monoprints.
I did a few small gelli prints when Kathy and I were up at Mike's cabin outside of Grand Marais. This one was an example of ooops I wrecked it and then fixed it. It's a multi-layer print and some ghost prints on an encyclopedia page. Kathy liked this so I gave it to her.
This was another crazy 10 thin layers of paint gelli print. Kathy liked and it's hers now. I like it too.
