We've been having a bit of a heat wave here this past week or two, and unfortunately, I'm not made for high temperatures. When the temperatures climb to over 30 degrees, I just don't want to move at all anymore. I don't even feel like painting any more. But yesterday, I decided to pull myself together. I didn't want to miss yet another Paint Party Friday. So I got out my Gelli plate, and started some printing. I can't believe that this is actually only the second time I've used my plate since I got it, and that the first time was over 4 months ago!
I kept to a limited colour palette and made very simple prints with just one layer of paint, and two or three different stencils. After having printed almost 20 sheets of paper, I cut a bit of the top and bottom off each sheet, and then printed the back of all of them. Eventually, I want to bind them all together into a little journal.
Happy Paint Party Friday!
Hope you're staying cool.
We have also been having a heatwave in the UK. My hands were so hot the other day that I couldn't grip my pencil! Another beautiful selection of journal pages Kay :0)
ReplyDeleteSo funny, I've been doing the same! Making lots of gelliprints and planning on making a journal out of it. Love your limited colour palette. I'm still struggling with trying to avoid mud while gelliprinting ....
ReplyDeleteOh, heat melts me- I feel for you! Love the prints you made esp. the blues- makes me think of oceans and the beach. Perhaps the heat has me thinking about how wonderful a dip in the ocean would be since I am land locked...Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteLove all the shades of blue and purple.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the heat - we have had a few days here and here where it's been beautiful and I just spend it sitting on a sun chair in the garden because it's such a rare occurrence here - not good for painting productivity! I still don't really understand what gelli plates are but they seem to be taking over the art blogging world!! Your pages look lovely!
ReplyDeleteSweet gelli printing. Hot, no I do not do hot well either. I sympathize. xox
ReplyDeleteGood prints. Saludos

ReplyDeletegelli!!!!! I adore the gelli prints! You did great stuff!
ReplyDeleteWe have been in the 40's C around here... suffocating at times! But we are "getting cool" again down to 30's. You would not like this place lol
Great colors and textures! I love how the gelli plate just gives everything an added interest! Looking forward to seeing more! Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteYour gelli prints are awesome. They will be perfect for your little journal. You did great for not having done any for a few months. I don't like hot weather, it kills me. I haven't started gelling around yet because I'm just really learning about them. I know you can make your own out of knox or something like that. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteI love your geli prints....I need one of those!! I love the combination of colors you put together too!! Very pretty!
