My final few Gelli prints!

There's a lot going on again here! I am getting  ready for a workshop tomorrow at Rowan Tree Craft with the extremely talented Tracey Easson!

 As you know I loved taking part in the Gelli Plate challenge that Brigit Koopsen hosted!I just realised that I hadn't posted the final five!

 I learned so much and I do know that I will never leave my Gelli-plates tucked away in drawer again!
I have enlarged my favourites.

 Day 27 - Cardboard
So many ways to use a piece of corrugated card



Day 28 Comb
I made two combs and made quite a few different patterns





Day 29 Egg Box
Loved this and saw so many other brilliant examples!

Day 30 Water Soluble crayons


I wasn't so happy with the prints on the copy paper I was using but when I saw a tip from someone else who had the same results, I switched to watercolour paper.
Day 31 Primary colours


These are the colours I used
Although I like the prints I made I did see lots of others with much brighter results so need to practice more - what a great excuse and I still want to try making image transfers with my gelli plate!

Take a look at Birgit's videos here if you want to know more about Gelli printing!

Thanks for looking, Chris

    I am in awe that you have a small gelli that you can set up without much trouble or bother. I spend an entire day setting up for printing, and another putting everything away. It isn't worth it to me, but I sure LOVE how you have such a minimal area to use your plate in. I can see why you would love doing it using a small gelli.

    I was really in awe of the corrugated cardboard. Simply incredible ways to use it, dear. I'm so happy you completed this project and I look forward to seeing what you make in your workshop this weekend.

    Wow, Chris! You got some amazingly good prints with the Gelli plate... I can't fall in love with mine at all, though I do keep trying. Maybe I should have another playday and hope for better results!

    Thanks for sharing your samples.

    That's a great line up of Gelli prints Chris, I really love the ones with the combs you made and that vibrant blue at the end is fantastic. I am only half way through Birgit's video but I have a new-found love for my Gelli plate too! Hugs, Anne xx

    Terrific prints, Chris! I love the combed ones and was stunned at the results you got with just primary colors! They're beautiful.
