I have continued my commitment to making and posting a piece of art every day during February. After making 31 little mixed media paintings in January, I decided to focus on just one aspect of my art practice during February. I decided that all of the art that I made would be created using only the process of print. This included gel plate printing, block printing and printing with found objects.And for the first 6 pieces I set myself the goal of working only in black, white and grey. This limit

I cannot resist any longer...it's time to start making Christmas projects. I wanted to start by playing with my 5x7 Gelli Plate and Deco Arts Dazzling Metallics Acrylic Paint. This paint has a beautiful luster and shimmer that translates very well onto paper (or other surfaces). Start off by gathering all your supplies...in addition to the Deco Arts Metallics & my Gelli Plate I am using some paper die-cuts, my speedball brayer, various stencils & embossing folders, white and blue acrylics. The 5x7 Gelli Plate is a perfect size for smaller projects like cards and tags. I think it goes quicker too because there's less space to fill up at least it feels like it. A bit of paint... roll it out and you're ready to start playing. I placed one of the die cuts in the center then pounced the surface with the bumpy side of an embossing folder. NOTE: if you do use an embossing folder be sure to clean the paint off. I don't worry about cleaning stencils off. And print.... This design was also made using an embossing folder... here I have added multiple die-cuts. Made a print pulling off some paint... peeled them off and added more paint... and here are those 2 prints side by side...positive & negative. I was at it for less than an hour and made 19 prints, 12 tags and numerous painted die-cuts! I love playing with the Gelli Plate, it really makes you feel like you've accomplished something and in such a short amount of time. In the coming days I will share some projects made using these fun prints!
