Fingerpainted Cards

After watching a YouTube presentation about fingerpainting on a Gelli Plate to make backgrounds for art designs, I had to try it.  A little stencil work, some rubberstamping and collaged postage stamps filled out the designs.  I circled the black shapes with a white pen and used a bottle cap to make the larger rings. These were fast, simple, fun to make.  From three pieces of cardstock I cut out six post cards and nine Artist Trading Cards.  That's a pretty good return for some art play!

Almost Full Moon

I wasn't sure if this would turn out at all.  There were two parallel of clouds, one above and one below the moon.  My little camera didn't capture the scene, but I had to try.

For these two designs I added marker lines:

I watched a YouTube presentation about 

using Alcohol Inks on the Gelli printing plate,

including dye inks.  The below were 

made with drip techniques
