To celebrate being home, I have created some fun things for you for the next few blog posts...I know, like they're not ALL fun hahahaha.

To start off, this month I am playing with the Gelli Arts Gelli Plate.  Oh what fun!  I made a home made one a few years ago, and really, it didn't measure up to an actual one.  The real Gelli Plate is just so smooth and creates beautifully.

I have quite a few pictures in this post, there's really no other way to show you how great the Gelli Plate is!

To start off this project,I re-learned how to use the Gelli Plate.  I created pages and pages of prints just for fun.

Then I watched more Youtube videos and learned a few more complicated tricks and techniques, like ghosting.

 I used acrylic paint, stencils, rubber stamps and a few different catalysts to create a whole bunch of prints that I will be using in an upcoming project.

You may even recognize some of these prints!

So I will see you next time with a fun project to make with these great Gelli Plate prints and a couple of other new tools that I just won't be able to live without!  See you soon! ~ Leah
