Doing some gelli printing today and am kind of loving my backing sheet (not sure how to refer to it, the piece of paper you put behind your prints when the papers you’re printing on don’t cover the entire plate)
I guess “under” paper doesn’t work for that situation. “over” paper? gelli extras? paint scraps?
Clean-up paper?
First layer of your next masterboard.
Working on different projects - more homemade Valentine cards, inspired by Kristen Peterson/alteredstatesstudio and the Ugly Art club.
And a page in the Leftover journal - Alisa Burke. I cut shapes out of Kraft paper and a painted sheet, doodled on the shapes but need to finish doodling in between the shapes.
And from the New Years Eve Artsy Meetup, Leaca Young’s lesson. Of course, I had to find a vintage diary - this one is 1941. It measures 3.5” by 5-7/8”.
The pair of stenciled paper dolls is a Leaca Young stencil set.
I love all of this!!
That page with the blue, wow! What will you doodle? It looks fab already!
This is an awe-inspiring thread to scroll! DANG, y’all!
I just popped in to share the new challenge, because I knew this group would come up with some amazing representations of spring.
I love your work in that diary…
Alisa Burke’s style is to add black lines in the spaces. I’m not confident yet to try that. I want to try it when I’m relaxed - not in rush mode.
Your artwork looks fantastic @Smmarrt! I love what you’ve done in the vintage diary, especially the paper doll page, wonderful!
Decided to swatch all of the blue and green acrylics on my art cart. Super useful for selecting colors, I’ll need to do the rest of my paints too
I had a stack of 8x8 canvases and was curious what it would look like wrapped over one.
I might do more with it later but I’m digging it for now.
Well that’s awesome!
One thing leads to yet another creative idea! Great idea…looks very modern art!
Thanks @Abbeeroad and @AIMR! I turned it 90 degrees and now I love it. Tomorrow I’ll get it up on the wall
wait…is this the backing sheet from above?
Yep! I did like 3 hours of gelli printing yesterday so it’s got lots of layers and colors (lots more were added after the initial picture).
It’s brilliant!!

Hey everyone, I am fighting a migraine and can’t make this afternoon.
If someone else wants to run it I can set you up as a host on my zoom (send me your email).
Or we can postpone this a couple weeks (I can’t do next weekend).
