Printmaking Spree


Sometimes a girl just has to break out the gelli plate and play.
I have had a bit of a print making spree lately and have been working with a limited palette each time and trying to do as many different things as can in each session.


It is so much fun and so relaxing and I love the results.


I have been working in long strips that I then fold into pages and will eventually bind them together into an art journal, very much inspired by Teesha Moores Amazing 16 page journals. At the moment though I am really enjoying working in the loose leaf format.  Thanks to my friend Maisy for giving me the idea.


I have found it easy to grab a few supplies and a few pages and take them with me when I need to wait at places, with the backgrounds already done I often find something inspiring to start me off or I just find a background that suits my purpose.
