...that I got started on the cool colours for collage last week, and, of course, had a blast. Using Manganese Blue Hue and Hansa Yellow along with black and white, I managed some 35 sheets of paper. This time I created them mostly with gel printing. While they're not all complete (by a long shot), some of them are here.
Years of playing with colour means that I'm no longer wildly surprised at the range of hues associated with just two colours.
I'm liking the glow created around the Tyvek circle masks on the one below.
The wash pull on the gel plate is so soft, isn't it?
The addition of the miniscule amount of black on this print really changes the Hansa yellow.
Stamping on a black card was great fun.
Someone is more-than-slightly circle obsessed!
This was a mistake I couldn't duplicate if I tried, due to Murphy's Oil soap on the gel plate that wasn't cleaned completely off.
And I'm still loving the self-levelling gel method...it's so organic.
Oh, and I finished that project with embroidery thread and GAC400 I showed you last week, as I created an Easter egg basket for the upcoming weekend. GAC400 is a Golden medium one can add to fabric to stiffen it. Do you think that grandkids would believe the Easter Bunny lives in a multi-coloured bird-like habitat? I'm thinking they'd go for it!
Happy week to you, and may your Easter weekend be filled with the joy of spring, the deliciousness of good chocolate, the magic of make-believe and the dance of the Easter Bunny.
