Dear Liza,
Every now and then, I go back into the Art Closet and try another few Gelli prints. I am trying to be more methodical so I can photograph the steps as I go and learn what works for me.
Friday, I started with a bright red plate and made this cool pattern with a cardboard vegetable tray from the market.
Then, because I always forget that yellow is transparent, I tried to lay some down. I added some orange, to try and make my point.
Once everything was good and dry, I put some black on and rolled it out. I like the print, but wish the yellow and orange were more visible.
While I was Gelli printing, I used a page in my Art Journal as the rolloff page.
And while you and I were chatting in Saturday, I cut some black paper into a simple sunset landscape. I think it’s done, but I’ll have a look tomorrow.
More printing and snipping tomorrow!
Love,
Grandma Judy
Dear Liza
