Monoprinting and linocuts

I am still enjoying playing with my new Gelli plate! I am trying different ways of using the plate and am creating lovely papers.

I have an idea that I need to work on, combining gelli plate printing with linocuts, collage, and more. I carved a pelican in lino and printed it onto BKF Rives printing paper. The example below is handcolored with watercolors. I am still figuring out how to best print the background on the Gelli Plate and I will keep you updated when I found the right process. For the meantime... enjoy

And as Albert Einstein said: "Creativity is contagious, pass it on"

Gelli plate fun!

Oooohhh.... I haven't posted in a while... Sorry about that, I hope to get back into posting on my blog..

I got a Gelli plate for my birthday. It is not my birthday yet (still 3 more weeks to go), but I already got one present. A Gelli Plate. And I love it! I created some lovely colorful prints, marvelous for backgrounds and art journalling. But the reason I wanted a Gelli plate was to do more monoprinting. And, if I may say so myself, I love the results so far. Yes, definitely my new favorite art tool for the moment!
