Gelli Prints & Deli Wax Paper Project Backgrounds

A very good session in the art room involved the Gelli printing plate, card stock and some deli wax paper.  Many possible post card backgrounds were the result:



And then, some became one-fold envelopes:

Combed-through paint on printing plate

"Smooshed" watered-down paint on printing plate

Rubber washers used to remove paint from printing plate

Combed-through paint on printing plate

And whole sheets may serve as stationery, or post-a-letters:

Doesn't this resemble a world map of some sort with its strange land masses and oceans?



This was made by putting torn strips over the painted surface of the Gelli printing plate, then using the strips to make a grid over another (background) pattern on the paper.
