A few grape hyacinths have popped up in the neighborhood....they are one of my spring favorites.
Kelly is an accomplished artist....so she'll have a lot of fun coming up with interesting strategies and techniques to get the most out of it. There are SO many ways to use it.
The blue grass was a ghost print from another print that she dried then picked up with fresh white paint. We loved how the print picked up all the old paint on the plate giving the print lots of grungy texture. It's prettier in person. All the papers are prettier in person.
Many of these papers are two sided...and we were going to texture and a bit of grunge. Several of them will benefit from another layer.
We both really liked this one.
It was a wonderful day....and tomorrow is going to be interesting for a whole different reason. Stay tuned.
Sweet photo of the grape hyacinth, MaryAnn, with last year's oak leaves juxtaposed against the bright green and vivid purple of this year's grass and hyacinth : )
ReplyDeleteYour gelli print session with Kelly yielded terrific spring colors and textures, and I love the way you displayed them for photographing.
Eager to discover what tomorrow will bring …
Thanks Dotty! I noticed the oak leaf too.....out with the old seasons....in with the new. The session with Kelly was lots of fun!
DeleteInteresting gelli plate prints - such as fun way to create one-of-a-kind papers or fabrics)! We have a few hyacinth plants blooming right now, too. My husband planted bulbs from an Easter plant a few years ago and they are such a pretty sight! Looking forward to seeing what you'll be sharing tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteSo many uses for the gelli plate! What a good idea to plant your Easter flowers. I'm sure they are just lovely! We need these spring color this time of year.
DeleteAbout a year ago, I bought a gelli plate with the thought of creating some papers of my own while sitting outside on the deck in the evenings. I have not yet done a thing with it, so maybe it's a 2025 creative deck project. !!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a good plan Ellen! I'm happy to help in any way...but I think you would have fun with it. It's can be used in so many ways!
