So I spent an enjoyable moment printing, layer after layer, with stencils and other implements. True some pieces are going in the bin but there are some interesting results too. Included in the fun was this white bag (25x21cm approximately).
Front and back have different colours, there is no special reason apart from the logistics of mono-printing! The green side has at least 4 layers, the other has had many more as the early results were quite awful and I obliterated some of my attempts.
Stencils used : Reims (Artist Cellar), Dragonflies (That Special touch) and an old bow stencil.
I also used the top of a detergent bottle to make marks (dotted circles) on the plate for the left side and I stamped repeatedly sections of a Dragonflies stamp (Crafty Individuals) for the right side.
The paints I used are all Paper Artsy Frescos in Limelight, Pacific, Claret, Blueberry, Vanilla, Lilac and Lavender.
Thanks for coming by,
I am entering the Craft Barn, We Love 2 Create, All Sorts and That Craft Place and Paper Artsy challenges.
Looks like you had a really fun and inky session Christine, two great bags and I am going to have to go with the green one, loving the fresh zingy colours.

Gorgeous bags! Looks like you had a lot of fun with your gelli plate. I thought it was only me who got awful results from gelli printing and binned them! Actually I tore some of my awful ones up and used some of the pieces on different projects to good effect. Your efforts look like you NEVER get awful results, I particularly like the swirly circles in the backround.
ReplyDeleteI love the green side and the way the paint fades away at the edges and also left the white lines where the bag was folded. A lovely example of serendipity.
