about from town to town this past month, and have found little time to play in the studio. Isn't life just like that sometimes>
When all else fails, though, I revert to a Gelli plate session just to keep the juices flowing and retain my creative sanity. I knew that time would be short to do any leaf printing (how the heck did it get so close to winter so quickly?!!!), so I tore into it with great enthusiasm. John was about to compost the flower boxes, so I stole some dusty miller before it disappeared, added some fern, Japanese maple and other goodies, and had a blast.
There was a huge range as I worked back and forth from first to ghost prints (and even a few haunts).
And while I know it's fall, I couldn't help but put some sunny spring and summer prints through their paces as well.
Each print was so delicious, it was hard to stop.
Were it not for the fact that the family likes to be fed occasionally, I'd likely still be there.
Of course, being Canadian means that we were in the midst of Thanksgiving colour this past weekend, so that certainly added fuel to the colour schemes.
I can't get enough of green and orange lately, and there were quite a few of them in the pile!
I used all the brayer-cleaning sheets up before I finished, and the geometric lines through some of them pique my interest.
These will all make marvellous backgrounds or additions to journals,
and I suspect they'll grace a few cards and tags as well.
I'd LOVE it know what you do creatively when your time is short and your need is tall. Please tell me in the comments below so I can add your expertise to my arsenal; post a link if you like!
