Stenciled Canvas Purse

Hello and happy holidays! Now that I am on break I can get back to creating and video making. Here is my latest YouTube video tutorial on how to create a painted canvas purse. It took about 2 hours time start to finish as I never really have an idea when I start a project. I normally wait until it comes on the spot. the materials list in the video. Hopefully you will be inspired to create your own.

Gelli Print Leftover Paint

The Gelli printing plate is so addicting that you spend a lot of time making prints (Now I have to think of cool projects in which to use the prints!). If you are like me, you do NOT want to waste any paint or ink during the process so always have on hand journal books, tags, or some kind of paper, cardboard, etc. to mop up the access paint and ink which in turn will give you even more backgrounds! Here is a photo of some prints I made using the plate then spraying or inking the background. The following photo contains many tags I created using just the leftover paint or ink that is on my Gelli plate or on my non-stick craft mat.

So remember to use every glob and drip! It will only lead to more great backgrounds!
also, check out my latest YouTube process video featuring the Gelli plate.

Enjoy!

Gelli Plate Printing

Here is my latest video sharing many prints I created using the Gelli Arts printing plate. Please note that this is addictive! I decided to put the prints on a ring binder for good keeping and viewing. I can't wait to create with these prints. I will have a part 2 video soon which will include layering and using other mediums after creating the prints.

Art Gift Tags

Are you giving an extra special gift to that certain someone? A new car? House keys? (I think big!) Then why not present it in an art tag that is also a keepsake within itself? These are handmade gift tags with envelopes attached to the backing to hold money, keys, or anything small your heart desires. Most products used are by Ranger and Tim Holtz.
