Yesterday, in among other jobs, I scrapbooked a few photos. Here’s a page I did using StencilGirl stencils and some left over fabric. The journaling says it all really!

Getting ready to make Gelli cards
I week or two back I watched a great video via the Gelli Arts Facebook page and loved it, but now can’t find it – sorry for the lack of credit. Anyway, it showed a really cool process for getting this torn look in your prints, giving you a space for wording. Great for making cards, so I started playing with it the other night. It’s a slower process, because each layer of paint needs to dry, but produces good results – it just meant I puddled with something else at the same time. Here are my first few tries.

Playing with layers in the chaos
I have a couple of days leave – replacement days for working Easter – so have been creating all kids of things in amongst working on the newspaper and some other bits that I need to get done. As you can see, when I get really into creating mode my desk can get a bit overloaded. Mind you, a friend who is moving countries once her house sells just gave me a huge pile of beads and glitter, which hasn’t helped the state of chaos because I’m not sure where to store them in my stash yet! (thanks Doris – I appreciate it and will love using it all up)
The journal page was inspired by one of Donna Downey’s Inspiration Wednesday videos I love the way she works in layers, her videos are always fun to watch and she’s really good at explain both her thought process and her art process. If you want to check out her videos a quick search of Donna Downey on YouTube will do the trick.

Trying out a new process
This morning I have been Gelli printing onto heavy water colour paper that I prepared with a faux Chine Colle technique last night. In many ways, just fancy collage. I love the results I’m getting and can see lots more experimentation coming. I am thinking about adding words to these, but am not sure yet. As much as I love some of them, I don’t quite see them as finished pieces. Here’s what I have so far:

This mess
This mess on my desk is a sure sign that art is about to happen. I am getting ready to try some faux Chine Colle, which is the latest technique on the Gelli Art blog. More photos later…
