My first gel print of this session is on top of the stack. Can you see all the different patterns and colors used? Lots of stencils and patterns in this one. March 2021 Artistic Stencil Club, Bubble Wrap, Romantic Swirl Rubber Stamp, Little Daisies Stencil, Large Diamonds Stencils were all used.
On the top is one of the clean up pages. I cleaned my brayer off on a book page and occasionally I would use those pages to mop up excess paint on the gel plate. These can be interesting prints and are fun to use as backgrounds.
Mixing up colors can be so much fun! The first patterns were the Romantic Swirl Stamp and Bubble wrap. Remember if you use objects on your gel plate to make sure they won’t make a cut or permanent mark! The Small Broken Circles stencil with purple paint shows up a little, the Victorian panel is in there too! The gold used with the Diamond With Flair Stencil isn’t visible in the photo, however, when you old the gel print and tilt it back and forth you see the pattern.
Layering the patterns I pick up over the brayered book pages is fun and interesting. Sometimes you can plan how these will turn out and sometimes you can’t. The key is to have fun! Don’t stress if you didn’t get the perfect print. Pull the print and move on to the next one, or try to perfect the print by trying again. It is just paint and paper after all.
While this print didn’t come out as I expected, I still like the patterns. This page could be cut into smaller sections, or used to create a background. One of my friends loves to tear her gel prints and use them to create collages. She will draw out an image and pick torn bits to fill out the image.
Mopping up the edges can create some cool prints too. Sometimes I’ll use these to create journal cards or pockets. These will match the full sheet that was created and gives a little extra that can be used.
Have fun when you gel print. Whatever you do, don’t stress! Think of this as play and when we play we don’t stress right?
