Monoprinting

I’m in a phase. My photographs have started looking monotonous, so I’ve turned to paint. I searched through some of my favorite blogs for art inspiration. I wanted new art supplies. Me and the art section on Amazon have a problem.  I could probably use a 12 step program.

I’ve always longed for my Middle School days of screen printing, but it seems so expensive and messy. So, when I saw multiple bloggers loving the Gelli Arts Gel Printing Plate, I had to have one. These are crappy iPhone photos from my first night. It was just me, some Ray on the turntable, the new Gelli plate, my inexpensive craft acrylics, printer paper, and a small collection of masks and stencils. It was a fun few hours experimenting and playing. Each print is a new discovery. I have a lot to learn, but it was seriously fun.

Plus, I love any excuse to get all painty.
