It really rained yesterday. A good day to hang home and just have fun. I pulled out my Gelli plate and had a great couple hours making tons of deli papers and watercolor paper prints. Just call me the Gelli Print Queen. Ha-Ha!
My paint covered plate waiting for some design. I don't make gelli prints regularly but every few months I get a big hankering to play, and when I play, I make a whole stash of prints.
I bought this big design roller stamp early in the summer. Wasn't sure if it was really going to work but it worked great. I love the straight lines it makes.
I am always amazed how cool these prints come out. I used some stencils and a plastic disposable knife and some plastic wrap along with my big roller stamp to make these designs. Nothing too fancy. Its all about the layering.
Then I spent my rainy afternoon cooking and relaxing. I made some of these yummy ginger cookies. These are the best. I haven't made any in forever.

And I thought I needed to go out. But staying inside and doing things I don't normally do made it an excellent day. How was your day?

ReplyDeleteI agree with Nicole, it seems that you had a perfect kind of day, and I hope you did.

Beautiful creativity. fantastic prints! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE all of your gelli prints! They'll make great papers for collages, backgrounds for other artwork, cards and other projects. Some of them could even be framed on their own. Your cookies look delicious and they're making me hungry, since I haven't had breakfast yet - LOL! Blessings!
ReplyDeleteThose are some really great prints!!!! i can get lost in days like that where you just keep playing and playing and letting the energy flow ♥ The cookies look and sound so yummy...me thinks I"m going to bake a Fresh Apple cake today.... Lots of apples falling off my tree.
ReplyDeleteLove your geli prints they are fabulous!! The cookies look yummy too!

Your photographs of your art progression are works of art in themselves. The second...the covered plate...makes a beautiful abstract -just look at those colours contrasts and textures. My favourite pics are the 4th and 5th after the roller. - especially the one top left hand corner of the 5th. Thanks for visiting my new meme:) You already have lots of geometric art:)!
ReplyDeleteLove seeing your gelli prints. Fun isn't it? Never tried Liquitex. On my wish list now. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting post. How amazing. Your artwork is a feast for the eyes.
ReplyDeleteWow! You got an amazing amount of prints done - and they are all so different! My daughter loves ginger cookies - so I will have to try your recipe - they look delicious! Sounds like a wonderful rainy day, well spent!
ReplyDeleteYour gelli prints are fab!!! Loved them all :)
